Main Ingredients
- 1 cup 0% fat Stonyfield Organic plain yogurt
- 4 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
For Serving
- Fresh strawberries
- Graham crackers (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with the yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and sugar until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- Chill the dip: Refrigerate the creamy mixture until you are ready to serve to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
- Swirl in preserves: Transfer the chilled mixture to a serving bowl and gently fold in the strawberry preserves to create pretty swirls without fully mixing it in.
- Serve: Serve the dip immediately with fresh strawberries and optionally graham crackers for dipping.
Notes
- This dip tastes like a creamy, sweet-tangy cheesecake in a convenient dip form.
- Fresh fruit like strawberries or graham crackers are perfect dippers that complement the flavor and texture.
- You can substitute sugar with honey or a sugar alternative for a different sweetness profile.
- Keep the dip refrigerated and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
