Cheesecake Dip
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers for topping
- strawberries apple slices and graham crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth and completely lump-free, about 2 minutes.
- Add the sour cream and beat until fully blended and glossy.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla and lemon zest; beat until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the sugar if needed; it should be tangy first, sweet second.
- Chill for 20 minutes for the best scoopable texture.
- Spoon into a serving bowl and top with the crushed graham crackers right before serving so they stay crisp.
- Serve with strawberries, apple slices and graham crackers.
Good to Know
Mix the dip up to two days ahead but hold the graham cracker topping until serving so it does not turn soft.
