# What You'll Need:
→ Dip Base
01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat)
02 - 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
04 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
05 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of salt
→ Cinnamon Swirl
07 - 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
08 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
→ Fruit Dippers
09 - 1 medium apple, sliced
10 - 1 medium pear, sliced
11 - 1 cup strawberries, halved
12 - 1 cup seedless grapes
13 - 1 banana, sliced
14 - 1 orange, segmented
# Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cream cheese, maple syrup (or honey), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk vigorously until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
02 - In a small separate bowl, mix together 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey) and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined into a smooth mixture.
03 - Transfer the Greek yogurt dip to an attractive serving bowl. Drizzle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the surface. Use a toothpick or small knife to gently swirl through the layers, creating a marbled pattern without overmixing.
04 - Prepare all fruit dippers by washing, slicing, and segmenting as needed. Arrange them attractively around the dip on a large platter or board for easy access.
05 - Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving; give it a quick stir before serving if it has been stored.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It delivers all the warm comfort of cinnamon roll flavor without turning on your oven or waiting for dough to rise
- The protein from Greek yogurt means you can honestly call this breakfast and nobody can argue with you
02 -
- Fresh fruit releases water as it sits, so if you're prepping this for a party, wait until the last minute to slice especially juicy fruits like strawberries
- The cinnamon swirl will continue to blend into the dip over time, so make those pretty swirls right before guests arrive for maximum visual impact
03 -
- Warming your honey or maple syrup for 15 seconds in the microwave makes it infinitely easier to drizzle in those pretty patterns
- A small offset spatula creates more controlled swirls than a toothpick if you want distinct ribbons rather than a blended look
