Greek Yogurt Cinnamon Roll Dip (Print Version)
Protein-rich Greek yogurt dip swirled with cinnamon and sweetened naturally, ideal for dipping fresh fruit.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dip Base
01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat)
02 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of salt
→ Cinnamon Swirl
07 - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey
08 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
→ Fresh 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
# How-To 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, whisk together 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey) and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until thoroughly blended and uniform in color.
03 - Transfer the Greek yogurt dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the surface. Using a toothpick or knife tip, gently swirl through the layers creating a marbled pattern without overmixing.
04 - Artfully arrange prepared fruit slices on a serving platter surrounding the dip bowl. Group fruits by color for visual appeal and easy access.
05 - Serve immediately for optimal texture and freshness. Alternatively, cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving; swirl may settle slightly but can be refreshed with a gentle stir.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It tastes exactly like a cinnamon roll but takes literally ten minutes and zero baking
- The protein from Greek yogurt means you can happily eat it for breakfast without any guilt whatsoever
02 -
- The longer this sits, the more the swirl will fade into the yogurt, so plan your marbling right before serving if presentation matters
- Some fruits brown faster than others, so toss apples and pears in a little lemon juice if you're prepping more than an hour ahead
03 -
- If your yogurt seems too thin, line a colander with cheesecloth and drain it for 30 minutes before starting
- Room temperature ingredients combine so much more easily than cold ones
