Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
- 1/2 cup granola (optional, for crunch)
Feel free to substitute the strawberries and blueberries with any summer fruit of your choice. My dad always said, “A good cook is not afraid to make swaps,” and I live by that advice. If mint isn’t your thing, try basil for a different twist!
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy. This is your creamy base that ties it all together, reminiscent of those long kitchen chats with my dad about keeping things simple yet flavorful.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and blueberries. I always tell my kids, “Be gentle with the berries; they’re gems of the summer!”
- Stir in the chopped mint leaves for a refreshing kick. This little addition brings back memories of my mom turning ordinary dishes into something special with just a hint of herbs.
- For some extra texture, sprinkle granola over the top. This step is optional, but I love the crunch it adds. My kids adore it too, and it’s always a hit at our family gatherings.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This gives you just enough time to catch up on that book you’ve been meaning to read or sneak in a quick nap!
