Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
- 5 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Toppings
- 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles (divided use)
- Graham crackers, fruit, etc. for dipping
Instructions
- Heat Treat the Flour: Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it on high for 40 seconds until it reaches 160°F to eliminate any harmful bacteria. Stir well to break up any clumps and allow it to cool slightly before use.
- Beat Butter, Cream Cheese, and Sugar: In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Using a mixer, beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Flour and Vanilla: Add the heat-treated flour and vanilla extract to the bowl, then beat for another minute to incorporate fully.
- Incorporate Greek Yogurt: Add the vanilla Greek yogurt in 1/4 cup increments, mixing on low speed to combine until smooth.
- Mix in Sprinkles: Stir in 1/2 cup of holiday sprinkles, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish. Spread the remaining sprinkles evenly on top of the dip for decoration.
- Serve: Serve the dip immediately with graham crackers, fruit, or your preferred dippers for a delightful holiday treat.
