Scale
Dip Base
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and sour cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture, continuing to beat until everything is well combined and the dip has a consistent texture.
- Fold in strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the mixture to retain their shape and texture, distributing them evenly without crushing.
- Incorporate graham cracker crumbs: Stir in half of the graham cracker crumbs into the dip gently. Save the remaining crumbs for topping to add a crunchy finish.
- Chill the dip: Transfer the prepared dip to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and the flavors to meld together before serving.

- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- This dip can be made a few hours ahead of time and kept refrigerated until ready to serve.

- For a lighter option, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
