This is my recipe for fruit dip… and it’s awesome and delicious fruit dip… that’s amazing as a spread on french toast! Brown sugar brings out the richness of the cream cheese and yogurt adds a bit of tang, while vanilla extract and a pinch of salt bring everything together. With only 4 ingredients you get easy and delicious entertaining!
- Serve as a dip with fresh fruit and cinnamon crisps
- Spread on french toast and top with sugared strawberries
- Fill pre-baked cupcakes for a “cheesecake” center
- Use as a filling for red velvet whoopie pies
The possibilities are endless. 🙂
