Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a silky texture.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the powdered sugar, plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Assemble the Dip: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into a serving bowl, creating a smooth surface.
- Add Raspberry Preserves: Spoon the raspberry preserves over the top of the cream cheese mixture in dollops. Using a knife, gently swirl the preserves into the cream cheese mixture to create a beautiful marbled effect without fully mixing them in.
- Garnish and Chill: Optionally, garnish the top with fresh raspberries for added color and fresh flavor. Cover and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
- Serve: Serve chilled with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit for dipping.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt to reduce calories and fat.
- Swap raspberry preserves for strawberry or blackberry jam for variety and different fruity flavors.
- This dip makes an excellent addition to holiday dessert trays, summer fruit platters, or casual get-togethers.
- Keep the dip chilled until serving to maintain its texture and freshness.
