How to Make Fruit Dip
This fruit dip recipe seriously could not be easier to make. It calls for 5 basic ingredients:
- Whole milk Greek yogurt – Compared to cream cheese fruit dips or even marshmallow fluff, this yogurt base offers a delicious creamy texture and tangy flavor. It’s not merely dessert; it qualifies as a solid snack.
- Creamy peanut butter – It enhances the creaminess and adds a rich, nutty flavor. Almond butter works well here too!
- Honey – This provides the necessary sweetness, although you can replace it with maple syrup.
- Cinnamon – It contributes a warm depth of flavor.
- And sea salt – To enhance all the flavors!
Simply stir together all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Depending on the thickness of your yogurt, the dip might be a bit thick at this stage. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, as needed to achieve a creamy, scoopable consistency. That’s all there is to it!
