Base Ingredients
  • 4 ounces low fat cream cheese Softened to ensure a smooth and creamy finish.
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Provides a protein boost and tangy flavor.
Flavor Enhancers
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar For a touch of sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, combine the softened low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Beat them together until they are creamy and completely combined, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Incorporate the powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the mixture. Beat for another 3 minutes to blend all flavors thoroughly.
Chill and Serve
  1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  2. When ready, serve the dip in a nice bowl with fresh fruits and graham crackers for dipping.

Notes

Consider using a sugar substitute for a lighter version. Adjust sweetness by tasting before chilling. For a twist, use Greek yogurt flavored with honey or vanilla.
