Healthy Fruit Dip Ingredients
- Cream Cheese
- Plain Greek Yogurt
- Brown Sugar
- Pure Vanilla Extract
Substitution Suggestions:
- Cream Cheese: You can use Neufchatel cheese if you want a little less fat content in your dip.
- Plain Greek Yogurt: You can sub with sour cream if you like, but the tang from the yogurt is really great in this recipe. Vanilla Greek yogurt is also another good substitute, but watch the sugar content. Sometimes flavored yogurt has a lot of added sugars that isn't necessary. Another option is just plain regular yogurt, it is a little looser and not as thick so keep that in mind when making your dip.
- Brown Sugar: Honey or pure maple syrup is an alternative that would still taste great in this dip. You could also use powdered sugar. I like to use brown sugar because it gives a slight caramel flavor that we love in this dip.
- Pure Vanilla Extract: Always use the pure extracts, the imitation stuff does not do well especially in unbaked items.
Flavor Variations:
- Add some cinnamon or apple pie spice for a different flavor profile.
- Stir in some lemon, lime or orange zest and juice for a more refreshing dip.
- Add ½ teaspoon of almond extract and some dye-free sprinkles for a fun cake batter variation.
- Stir in a few tablespoons of cocoa powder for a chocolate dip.
- Blend in a couple tablespoons of peanut butter or seed butter for a nutty inspired dip.
This Greek yogurt dip is a great way to serve a delicious snack to your family and friends. Put the bowl of creamy fruit dip in the center of a fruit tray and let them go to town!

Storing Fruit Dip with Yogurt
Since this dip is cream cheese and yogurt, it needs to be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. You can leave it out at room temperature for 2 hours before it needs to be chilled again.
If you need to serve this dip longer put the bowl of dip in a larger bowl with ice. It will keep it safe and chilled longer. There are also a lot of serving platters and bowls that have the ice packs in the bottom of them. Totally worth the money if you entertain a lot.
Tips for Yogurt Fruit Dip
- Start with room temperature ingredients. This way the cream cheese will blend smoother easier and the yogurt won't create lumps in the cream cheese when added.
- This recipe doubles well if you are serving a large crowd.
- This dip can be made a day or two ahead of time, just give it a good stir before serving.
