This Easy Fruit Dip comes together in about 5 minutes with just 4 ingredients – and it’s BY FAR the version I make on repeat. Greek yogurt keeps it light and creamy without sacrificing any of the flavor, and the peanut butter addition is low-key the best decision!
Why you’ll love this easy fruit dip recipe!
When we have parties and family gatherings, I always make sure that there’s a veggie platter and a fruit tray. No one thinks they want it but inevitably, everyone stands around grabbing little bites of fruit and veggies. next thing you know, it’s ALL gone :)
Fruit dip is often made with cream cheese or marshmallow fluff but I wanted to make a lighter version. It has a deliciously creamy texture and is the perfect dip for a midday healthy snack!
Why you’ll LOVE this:
- Ready in 5 minutes with 4 ingredients
- Lighter than cream cheese versions but just as creamy and satisfying
- High protein – the Greek yogurt adds a nice protein boost
- Endlessly customizable with different nut butters, mix-ins, and flavors
- Works as a snack, party dip, or lazy dessert situation
Ingredients needed
The simple ingredients for this recipe are listed fully down in the recipe card but let’s briefly go over the pantry staples needed including a few substitutions you can make as desired!
- Greek yogurt – the base of this dip; plain works great but vanilla adds a little extra sweetness. Full-fat gives the creamiest result, but low-fat is totally fine.
- Creamy peanut butter – use a drippy natural peanut butter so it blends in easily; any nut or seed butter works, or leave it out entirely.
- Maple syrup – just a splash for sweetness; honey or agave are easy swaps.
- Cinnamon – optional but adds a warm, cozy flavor that makes this feel a little more special.
- Fruit to serve it with – we love serving ours with fresh strawberries and apple slices (plus graham crackers are always a hit!).
How to Make It
Just a reminder that you can find the FULL written recipe down in the recipe card, but I want to quickly go over how to make them with visuals for you :)
- In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients by whipping them together with a spoon. you could also do this using a hand mixer.
- Keep whipping until the yogurt is fluffy and all of the ingredients are fully combined. Takes about a minute. You can also do this in a blender or food processor. Serve with your favorite fruits and ENJOY!
Store any leftover fruit dip in an airtight container.
Recipe Tips
- Use a drippy nut butter (not the stiff, dry kind) – it blends in much more smoothly and gives the dip a better texture.
- Whip it with a spoon for a full minute – the yogurt gets noticeably fluffier as you stir.
- Taste before you serve! Add more maple syrup or peanut butter to dial it in to your preference.
- Make it right in the yogurt container to skip a dish and make storage easy.
What about different flavor options?
- Chocolate – stir in 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder or a spoonful of melted dark chocolate
- Nutella – swap the peanut butter for slightly melted Nutella (DO IT)
- Citrus – add a squeeze of lemon or orange juice and a little zest
- Vanilla – a teaspoon of vanilla extract makes this taste more dessert-like
- Fruit-swirled – mash in a few strawberries or half a banana for a flavored version
- Fluffier + sweeter – fold in a dollop of cool whip and reduce the maple syrup
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Swap them 1:1 – just make sure your cream cheese is softened so it blends smoothly. It’ll be richer and a little more indulgent than the yogurt version.
Plain works great. Vanilla Greek yogurt adds a little extra sweetness if you want it. Full-fat gives the creamiest texture, but any variety will work.
Absolutely. Make it up to a few days in advance and store it in the fridge. It actually gets a little better as the flavors settle.
Coconut yogurt should work well as a swap – same process, just sub it in 1:1
