Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk or spoon
- Measuring spoons
- Knife and Cutting Board
- Serving dish
Ingredients
For the Yogurt Base:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or regular yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins:
- A pinch of cinnamon optional, for extra warmth
- A splash of lemon juice optional, for added freshness
For Dipping:
- Fresh fruit of your choice apples, strawberries, grapes, bananas, etc.
Instructions
Step 1: Get Your Ingredients Ready
- Gather all your ingredients and tools before you start — this makes the process smooth and stress-free.
- Make sure your yogurt is cold and fresh. If it has extra liquid on top (whey), you can stir it in or pour it off for a thicker dip.
Pro Tip:
- If you want an extra thick dip, let the yogurt sit in a mesh strainer over a bowl for 15–20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: Mix the Yogurt Base
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of Greek yogurt.
- Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Pro Tip:
- Whisk gently but thoroughly — you want everything well combined without making the yogurt too runny.
Step 3: Add Extra Flavor (Optional)
- Sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, cozy flavor.
- For a brighter, tangy twist, add a small splash of lemon juice — just about 1/2 teaspoon.
- Stir everything together again until smooth.
Pro Tip:
- Taste and adjust! Want it sweeter? Add a little more honey. Need more tang? Add a bit more lemon juice. Make it yours!
Step 4: Chill the Dip (Optional but Recommended)
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid.
- Place it in the fridge for 20–30 minutes. This helps the flavors blend and makes the dip extra refreshing.
Pro Tip:
- If you’re making this for a party, you can chill it for up to 24 hours in advance. Just give it a quick stir before serving.
Step 5: Prepare the Fruit
- Wash and slice your fresh fruit. Good options include:
- Apples (slice and dip in lemon water to prevent browning)
- Strawberries (halve or quarter them)
- Bananas (slice just before serving)
- Grapes, blueberries, pineapple chunks — whatever you love!
Pro Tip:
- Keep your fruit bite-sized for easy dipping. And pat them dry with a paper towel so water doesn’t make the dip watery.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
- Transfer the dip to a cute serving bowl.
- Arrange your fruit around it on a platter or large plate.
- Serve with toothpicks or small forks for easy dipping.
