Ingredients
Scale
Dip
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Topping
- 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 is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing well to combine all the flavors thoroughly.
- Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the mixture to retain their texture and prevent them from being crushed.
- Incorporate Graham Cracker Crumbs: Stir in half of the graham cracker crumbs into the dip mixture, saving the remaining crumbs to sprinkle on top later.
- Refrigerate to Set: Transfer the dip to a serving dish, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the reserved graham cracker crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for best flavor and texture.
- For a sweeter dip, increase powdered sugar slightly to taste.
- Can be served with sliced fruit, cookies, or graham crackers for dipping.
- Make ahead and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
