Why We Love This Recipe For Maple Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip
Earlier this week when I was brainstorming new ideas for summer recipes, I couldn’t get this easy Maple Greek Yogurt Dip out of my mind. I kept thinking about shooting it with fresh seasonal strawberries, with loads of backlighting and maybe even doing a tiny video to show you how head smackingly easy it is. Like so easy a caveman could do it. Nay! So easy a slightly dim mosquito could do it.
This easy Greek yogurt dip recipe makes for a wonderful fruit dip and pairs well with anything that’s in season. Just slice up some freestone peaches or summer ripe plums. Or dip in some perfect local berries and you will be so happy!
If you’re prepping this Greek yogurt fruit dip for a party, you can make it up to a day ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Slice up a bunch of fruit and lay it out on a platter for your guests to enjoy!
I bet you could even serve this maple Greek yogurt dip with cinnamon pita chips. You might also be able to use this yogurt dip in place of the cream cheese in these fruit and cream cheese lunch wraps. The options are endless!
So lucky for both of us, I kept obsessing until I made all that happen. It took me all of five minutes. And here you have it. Just three simple ingredients: fat-free plain Greek yogurt, dark pure maple syrup and a touch of almond extract and you have the perfect creamy and sweet dip for all your favorite summer fruits and berries.
That’s how easy it is! Even a mosquito can pull that off. Amiright?
Key Ingredients For This Recipe
Greek yogurt
For this sweet Greek yogurt dip I used plain non-fat Greek yogurt. You can absolutely swap it out for either whole fat or reduced-fat yogurt depending on your preference and what you have on hand.
Maple Syrup
To sweeten the yogurt I used pure maple syrup because it adds a rich maple flavor, not just a sweet taste.
Extract
To flavor the dip, I used a touch of almond extract and it really elevates this non-recipe into something special. I love the way it tastes with the fruit!
How To Make Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip Recipe
Whisk the yogurt, maple syrup and almond extract in a bowl. That’s it! Serve immediately or chill up to 1 day ahead.
FAQs and Expert Tips
You can really mix anything with Greek yogurt. If you want something sweet, you can add honey, nuts, seeds, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and lemon. If you want savory, mix Greek yogurt with garlic, herbs, lemon, salt, pepper, and anything else you think might be good.
Greek yogurt has less fat than sour cream and also has way more protein. Greek yogurt, whether it’s non-fat or full fat, is much healthier than sour cream.
Greek yogurt will last about a week in the fridge, which means the Greek yogurt dip should last about the same amount of time, as long as it’s stored in an airtight container.
