Can you freeze fruit dip?

I don’t recommend freezing this fruit dip because the dairy tends to become watery or grainy once thawed.

Can you double a fruit dip recipe?

Absolutely. Simply double all of the ingredients and mix as directed. If using a hand mixer, make sure to use a slightly larger bowl to prevent splattering.

Why is my fruit dip lumpy?

Lumps usually happen if the cream cheese isn’t fully softened before mixing. Make sure to let it sit at room temperature until soft. Then, beat it until completely smooth before adding the remaining ingredients. If needed, continue mixing it a bit longer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go to ensure everything blends evenly.

Can I add different flavors to this fruit dip recipe?

Yes, try adding marshmallow cream (marshmallow fluff) or Cool Whip for a sweeter flavor and fluffier consistency. For a fruitier flavor, try adding a small splash of orange juice, cherry juice, or lemon juice, or make fruit dip with strawberry cream cheese or blueberry cream cheese. I’ve even made it with a little peanut butter and cocoa powder for a chocolate fruit dip that’s extra decadent.

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a medium bowl and a handheld mixer), place the softened cream cheese. Mix on medium-low speed until smooth.
Add the yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon to the bowl. Continue to mix until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds more.

For a lighter version, use Neufchâtel cheese (⅓ less-fat cream cheese) in place of the regular cream cheese.
