Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Serving Suggestion:
- Graham crackers
Instructions
- Unwrap the 8 oz cream cheese and place it in a medium mixing bowl. Blend the cream cheese and ½ cup sour cream with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until your mixture becomes silky and free of lumps.
- Sift ½ cup powdered sugar into the creamy base. Pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until your ingredients create a uniform, glossy consistency.
- Take 1 cup fresh strawberries and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Carefully incorporate the strawberries into your cream mixture, using a gentle folding technique to distribute them evenly.
- Cover your dip with plastic wrap, creating a tight seal. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for precisely 30 minutes at 40°F, allowing the flavors to blend and intensify.
- Remove the dip from the refrigerator just before serving. Arrange graham crackers around the bowl for an attractive presentation that invites guests to dig in.
Notes
- Softening cream cheese at room temperature makes mixing smoother and prevents lumps in the final dip.
- Adjust the powdered sugar gradually to control sweetness, tasting as you go for the perfect balance.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream cheese with reduced-fat or Greek yogurt cream cheese.
- Chop strawberries into small, uniform pieces so they distribute evenly and look beautiful throughout the dip.
