This Cream Cheese Fruit Dip is light and creamy and flavored with vanilla and honey. An easy 4-ingredient recipe that everyone loves!
As the weather begins warming up, I am reminded that swimsuit/shorts/tank-top weather will be upon us shortly. That means I need to start eating a little lighter and maybe reducing the number of pies and cookies that are consumed on a regular basis. I have been trying to eat fruit as dessert (not nearly as fun as ice cream, but, whatever), and I decided it was time to mix things up a little. Fresh fruit with Cream Cheese Fruit Dip is a match made in heaven!

How To Make Cream Cheese Fruit Dip
This dip is made with:
- Cream cheese,
- Vanilla Greek yogurt
- Honey
- Vanilla extract
Simply use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat all ingredients until light and fluffy. You can easily adjust the flavor by adding more honey to make it sweeter, or more yogurt to make it tangy. My family likes it exactly as written. The perfect combo of sweet, creamy and tangy.
Fruit Dip with Cream Cheese
Most cream cheese fruit dips usually involve marshmallow cream, cool whip or instant pudding. I still wanted the sweet-tangy flavor combination like those classic dips, but with ingredients that are a little more wholesome. I swapped the cool whip/pudding mix for a combination of vanilla yogurt and honey.
This dip contains NO corn syrup, artificial colors or hydrogenated oils that are in many fruit dips. Only four 4 simple ingredients that taste delicious together. You won’t miss all that yucky stuff, I promise.
