3-Ingredient Yogurt Cream Cheese Dip

Cream cheese dip has always been one of my favorite ways to enjoy the fruits of the season. It’s like dipping your strawberries into a thick sweet cream! I admit it, I have eaten it with a spoon before… it’s that good!

I decided to try and mix it up a bit by making it with homemade yogurt cream cheese. Now, not only is this dip delicious, but it also packs a probiotic punch! Do not be intimidated about making your own cream cheese, it’s super easy!

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups yogurt You can use one 32 oz. container from the store, make sure it’s organic and grass-fed, but if you make your own, here is a great yogurt starter, and I have 2 recipes in the Notes.
  • 4 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

To make the cream cheese:

  • Line the bowl with your flour sack towel and pour yogurt into the center of the towel.
  • Gather all four corners together and wrap a rubber band around them to hold them together.
  • Wrap the towel through a handle on one of your kitchen cabinets and secure it with a clothespin (see image below).
  • Place a bowl under yogurt and towel and allow the whey to drip into the bowl.
  • Leave undisturbed for 12 hours, or longer (depending on how thick you like your cream cheese).
  • When it is ready, it will look just like this (see below).
  • You will now have yogurt cream cheese and whey (to use in fermenting foods, I freeze it into ice cubes to use in single servings for fermentation).

To make the dip:

  • In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Whisk together until well combined.
  • Serve with fresh fruit.
  • Store in a glass container in the fridge and it will last several days.
