Scale
Main 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
- Beat cream cheese and sour cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture, continuing to beat well to combine all ingredients evenly and create a sweet, flavorful base.
- Fold in strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries to the cream cheese mixture, being careful to maintain the texture of the strawberries without overdicing or mashing them.
- Incorporate graham cracker crumbs: Stir in half of the graham cracker crumbs into the dip for a slight crunch and flavor, while reserving the remaining crumbs to sprinkle on top later.
- Chill the dip: Transfer the completed dip into a serving dish, sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumbs on top for garnish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use cream cheese at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
- Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen, thawed strawberries in a pinch.
- This dip pairs wonderfully with graham crackers, fresh fruit slices, pretzels, or cookies.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
