Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 0.125 tsp Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves or lemon zest
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes before starting. This makes it easier to blend for a smooth texture.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend them until smooth and fluffy.
Add the honey, vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated and creamy.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding a little more honey or powdered sugar, if desired.
Transfer the Heavenly Days Topping or Dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of lemon zest for an elegant touch, if using.
Serve immediately as a dip alongside fresh fruit, crackers, or vegetable sticks, or use as a topping for cakes, pancakes, or waffles.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Re-mix before serving if it separates.
