Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 4 oz Blue cheese, crumbled
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.125 tsp Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, add the fresh blueberries and blend until they form a smooth puree. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled blue cheese, and Greek yogurt. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until smooth and well-combined.
Stir in the honey, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the flavors are distributed evenly.
Gently fold the blueberry puree into the cheese mixture, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix, as you want visible swirls of blueberry throughout the dip.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth out the top with a spatula.
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves for an herbal touch.
Serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
