Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 ounces cream cheese, softened (I use full fat)
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use 0%)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime zest, plus more for serving
- Graham crackers or fresh fruit, for serving
Instructions
- Using a hand mixture, food processor, or stand mixer, whip the softened cream cheese until it’s fluffy and smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey if using), vanilla extract, and fresh lime juice, and zest. Blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 1 minute. The dip will look a little thin at this point. Taste and add a little more lime juice or maple syrup if needed. Cover the dip and let chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This will help the dip firm up.
- When it’s time to serve, sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs or extra lime zest on top if desired. Enjoy with fresh fruit or graham crackers for dipping. Leftovers will keep up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- It’s important to use softened cream cheese to make this dip creamy and smooth. Otherwise it will have a lumpy texture.
- I use full-fat cream cheese, but you can try it with light cream cheese. It won’t be as rich, but it’ll still taste delicious!
- Use lime or vanilla flavored Greek yogurt if desired. Adjust the maple syrup or honey since flavored yogurt is already sweetened.
