Why This Recipe Stands Out
Looking for a guilt-free snack recipe that doesn’t skimp on flavor? This yogurt fruit dip is just what you need. Here’s why it works:
- Super Easy: This recipe requires no baking or cooking, making it a quick and simple dish to prepare, just like our Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip!
- Healthy: Yogurt is packed with protein and probiotics, while honey provides natural sweetness.
- Versatile: This dip pairs perfectly with a wide variety of fruits and granola, making it a versatile recipe for any occasion.
- Kid-Friendly: Kids will love dipping their favorite fruits in this sweet, creamy dip. It’s a great way to get them to eat more yogurt and fruit.
- Customizable: The base of this recipe is vanilla Greek yogurt, but you can easily switch it up with different flavors for a fun twist. We love dips that are customizable, like our Caramelized Onion Dip.
- All-Natural: The natural sweetness of honey gives it a deliciously inviting edge, and you can control the level of sweetness to suit your preference.
Key Recipe Ingredients
- Vanilla Greek Yogurt – Vanilla Greek yogurt is creamy and rich, adding a deliciously smooth texture to the recipe. Whole yogurt will yield creamiest results.
- Honey – Depending on the sweetness of your yogurt brand, we use 4-6 tablespoons of honey.
- Cinnamon – A half teaspoon of cinnamon adds a warm, spicy note that compliments the sweetness of the other ingredients.
- Vanilla Extract – To enhance the vanilla flavor in the yogurt, we add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Substitutions And Variations
Here are some great ideas for switching up your Yogurt Fruit Dip:
- Yogurt: While we’ve used vanilla Greek yogurt, feel free to experiment with different flavors such as strawberry or blueberry.
- Preserves: You could also try mixing in 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite fruit preserves to give it a fruity twist, just like we do in our Homemade Pop-Tarts with Strawberry Filling.
- Sweeteners: If honey isn’t your thing, you can substitute it with your favorite sweetener such as maple syrup.
- Spices: The spice blend in this recipe is pretty flexible. Try adding pumpkin spice for a fall twist, or nutmeg for a more earthy flavor.
- Fluffier: For a fluffier fruit dip, fold in 1/2 cup prepared whipped cream. Cool Whip works well too.
Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together gently. Stir well to combine.

How To Prep Ahead
This Yogurt Fruit Dip is not only a healthy and delicious snack, but it’s also a great make-ahead option.
- Mix in Advance: You can easily prepare this dip a day in advance. Simply mix together all the ingredients, making sure to stir until well combined. Then, cover and chill it until you’re ready to serve. The flavors will meld together nicely, and you’ll have one less thing to worry about on the day of your gathering.
- Prep Fruits: If you’re serving the dip with a specific type of fruit, such as apple slices, melon, or a mixture of berries, you can also prep those in advance. Wash, slice, and store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. This can make for a quick and easy snack or addition to a packed lunch.
