Favorite Pairings
Garnish
- Sliced strawberries (or any fruit you love)
Dippers
- Vanilla wafers
- Whole strawberries
You could also serve graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels. However, this dip doesn’t really go well with potato chips or salty crackers.
Make it Yours
- Swap vanilla yogurt for flavored Greek yogurts like strawberry or coconut for a fun twist.
- Mix in mini chocolate chips or crushed graham crackers for extra texture.
- Want it extra sweet? Add a little more powdered sugar.
Dip Tips
- Make sure the cream cheese is really soft. Cold cream cheese equals a lumpy dip.
- Use a food processor if possible because it makes everything super smooth with minimal effort.
- If serving at a party, keep it chilled on ice so it stays cold and fresh.
Recipe FAQ
Absolutely. Whip it up the night before and keep it covered in the fridge.
You can, but I don’t recommend it. Greek yogurt gives it a thicker, cheesecake-like consistency.
In addition to strawberries, try pineapple spears, bananas, apples and dark cherries.
Storing Leftovers
- Make it up to a day in advance and keep in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. It’ll stay good for about 3 days.
- Freezing is not recommended for dips containing a high amount of dairy. The texture can get gritty when thawed.

This dip is fantastic! I put a dollop of it on my strawberry shortcake and on my waffles! Next, I’m going to put it between two vanilla wafers for my kiddos party! It’s addicting and delish!
Yay! So glad you found some neat ways to use this dip. Love the waffle idea!
