Ingredients in this fruit dip recipe

There are several types of creamy fruit dip out there: a popular version is made with marshmallow creme and cream cheese. But we’ve found our favorite type is even simpler and fresher, with a base of creamy Greek yogurt. It’s just as creamy, easier to make, and has a light and fresh flavor. Here’s what you’ll need for this fruit dip recipe:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Maple syrup or honey (or liquid sweetener of your choice)
  • Vanilla extract

All you have to do? Mix the ingredients together. Yes, it’s that simple. It comes out sweet and tangy, with a pure, vanilla-scented flavor: perfect for dipping anything you choose! Head to the recipe below for quantities.

    Too bad you can’t just print the recipe. Your website makes you download unwanted programs instead. I had to cut and paste into a word document to get it.
