8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (240ml) plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
1/2 cup (100g) powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120ml) strawberry jam or preserves
Fresh strawberries and graham crackers for dipping
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix until creamy and well combined.
Gently swirl in the strawberry jam – don’t mix it in fully to keep that marbled look!
Transfer to a serving bowl and chill for 15-20 minutes.
Serve with fresh strawberries, graham crackers, or your favorite dippers.
Soft Cream Cheese Is Key – Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it blend smoothly without lumps.
Use High-Quality Strawberry Jam – The flavor really shines through, so pick a jam with real fruit chunks for the best taste.
Chill for Better Flavor – Letting the dip rest in the fridge enhances the flavors and gives it a thicker, richer texture.
Swirl, Don’t Stir – For a pretty presentation, gently swirl the jam into the cream mixture instead of mixing it all in.
Make It Ahead – You can make this dip up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover and keep refrigerated until serving.
Change It Up – Want a twist? Try it with raspberry, blueberry, or peach preserves!
