Healthy Fruit Dip

It is perfectly acceptable to consume this dip by the spoonful. I justify this action by telling myself it is simply a cream cheese yogurt sweetened by unrefined means. I may even make myself feel better by plopping a blueberry or two into the bowl just so I can make the claim that I ate it as a “fruit dip.” I highly advise never allowing yourself to spiral down the same path that I did. I once dipped each individual morsel of fruit as nature intended. Now, I am at the point of drowning my fruit in mountainous heaps of this creamy dip.

Recipe Notes:

• My favorite way to consume this dip is globbed over a bowl of fruit. When served this way as a dessert, I often drizzle more honey on top.

• You can use vanilla yogurt. If sugar is already added to the yogurt, reduce the amount of honey. I have made this before and reduced the honey to ⅛ to ¼ cup depending on how sweet the yogurt already was. 

Limited in what I could bake in my unbelieveably tiny oven, I ended up making a simple fruit dip for dessert more often than anything else in our 6 month camper stay. With the utmost consistency that this dessert appeared in our diets, I am surprised that it never got old. There was never a point where I couldn’t go for a bowl of rasberries, blueberries, strawberries, sliced banana, and pineapple chunks topped with a healthy portion of dip.
