This dip was not supposed to be this good.

I originally whipped it up for my daughter’s playdate snack board — just cream cheese, strawberries, and a drizzle of honey. But when I took a taste test before serving… I had to stop myself from eating the whole bowl. 😅

It’s smooth, creamy, and lightly sweet with fresh strawberry flavor — and the best part? It takes 5 minutes to make. Seriously.

Now I make it for everything from brunch platters to book club nights, or just to dip apple slices when I’m craving something sweet-but-healthy after dinner.

🍓 Ingredients:

• 1 cup cream cheese or dairy-free cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

• 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: pinch of salt or lemon zest for brightness

🥣 Instructions:

1. Blend it up: Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2. Taste & adjust: Add a bit more honey/maple if you want it sweeter, or a squeeze of lemon for extra zing.

3. Chill or serve: You can serve right away or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors deepen.

4. Serve with: Apple slices, graham crackers, strawberries, pretzels, or use it as a fruit dip for a spring or summer platter!

🍴 Sarah’s Notes & Tips:

• Make it dairy-free: Use a vegan cream cheese and plant-based yogurt — just as creamy!

• Meal prep magic: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

• Party tip: Serve in a cute bowl with a fruit tray for an easy, crowd-pleasing snack.

• Extra fun: Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries or a swirl of strawberry jam on top for presentation.

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Strawberry Cream Cheese Dip is one of those “how is this so easy?” recipes that totally wins hearts. It’s fresh, simple, and feels just a little indulgent — while still being made with clean, real-food ingredients.

Make it once and you’ll start finding excuses to whip it up again (trust me!). 💕
