Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese base: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth and creamy to create the base of your dip.
- Add sweetness and flavor: Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture, mixing well to ensure an even flavor distribution.
- Fold in strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the mixture to keep their texture intact without breaking them down too much.
- Add graham cracker crumbs: Stir in half of the graham cracker crumbs into the dip; save the remaining crumbs to sprinkle on top as a crunchy garnish.
- Chill the dip: Transfer the finished dip to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the dip to firm up slightly before serving.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth dip texture.
- The dip can be served with fruit slices, graham crackers, or cookies for dipping.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days.
- Chilling the dip helps improve its texture and flavor melding.
