Ingredients
  

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey, plus more for drizzling

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of fine sea salt

A variety of fresh fruit (such as strawberries, apple slices, and pineapple chunks) for dipping

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 2 minutes. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

    Once smooth, add in the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to mix on medium speed for another 1-2 minutes until everything is well blended and the dip has a light, fluffy texture.

      To create a beautiful swirl effect, gently fold in an additional tablespoon of honey using a spatula. Be careful not to fully incorporate it; leaving it only partially mixed will create an appealing marbled look in your dip.

        Carefully transfer the dip into a serving bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes—this not only enhances the flavor but also firms up the dip.

          Just before serving, drizzle a touch of honey over the top of the dip for an added boost of sweetness. If desired, sprinkle some lemon zest on top for a pop of color and freshness.

            Arrange a colorful platter of fresh fruit alongside the dip for dipping. Enjoy the bright and refreshing flavors!
