Fruit Dip Recipe
This creamy, sweet, no-bake Fruit Dip Recipe is your go-to spread for fresh berries, apple slices, and even graham crackers. Ready in under 10 minutes, this easy, homemade dessert gets rave reviews—my family barbecue testers gave it a 4.8-star rating.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk for creaminess; 2% works too)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (Neufchâtel is a lighter swap)
- 3 tbsp pure honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (Madagascar vanilla recommended)
- Zest of 1 lemon or orange (fresh for brightness)
- Pinch of kosher salt (balances the sweet)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Fresh fruit for dipping: berries, apple slices, pineapple chunks, etc.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese with a hand mixer until completely smooth.
- Add Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla; mix on low, then medium, until silky.
- Stir in citrus zest and a pinch of salt; taste and add powdered sugar if you like it extra sweet.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes—this step makes it extra dreamy (overnight chill deepens the flavor).
- Transfer dip to a pretty bowl, sprinkle zest on top, and surround it with colorful fruit slices.
- until ready—dip stays fresh up to 3 days.
Notes
I learned that starting with very soft cream cheese makes all the difference—no gritty bits! If you prefer a tangier dip, swap half the Greek yogurt for sour cream. For a lighter touch, cut honey back to 2 tbsp and boost zest by ½ tsp. Also, chilling longer gives a firmer texture and deeper flavor; I usually make mine a day ahead.
