What is Cheesecake Dip?
Cheesecake dip delivers the taste and texture of cheesecake in spoonable form. It combines cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, Greek yogurt and strawberry puree for a dessert-style dip. Serve it with graham crackers, cookies or fresh fruit to echo classic cheesecake flavors.
Recipe Highlights
- Fresh strawberries: Use fresh berries for the best flavor. Thawed frozen strawberries or strawberry jam can be used as substitutes.
- Customizable: Serve with crackers or cookies and add sprinkles, crushed graham crackers, or mini chocolate chips if desired.
- Make ahead: This dip is quick to prepare—about 10 minutes—and stores well for a few days, making it great for prepping in advance.
Pro Tips
1) Strain the strawberry puree through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove seeds and create a smooth sauce.
2) Soften the cream cheese to room temperature (about one hour on the counter) so it blends smoothly. If cream cheese is too cold you may end up with lumps—continue to beat until smooth if a few small pieces remain.
Serving Suggestions
- Graham crackers
- Shortbread cookies
- Pretzels
- Chocolate chip or sugar cookies
- Fresh fruit such as strawberries, banana slices, apple slices or pineapple chunks
Storage and Make Ahead
Prepare the dip ahead and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If freezing, transfer to a freezer-safe bag, remove excess air and freeze for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge and stir before serving.
FAQs

Equipment

- Stand mixer or hand mixer
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole fresh strawberries, plus more for serving
- 6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 5.3 ounces vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Puree the strawberries in a food processor. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve placed over a bowl to remove seeds; you should have about 1/2 cup of puree.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk (or using a hand mixer), beat the cream cheese, Greek yogurt and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Add the strawberry puree and continue beating until fully combined and mostly lump-free. Top with extra chopped strawberries if desired.
- Serve immediately with graham crackers, cookies or fruit, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Thawed frozen strawberries or strawberry jam can be used in place of fresh berries if needed.
- Plain Greek yogurt can substitute for vanilla, if preferred.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth texture; if small lumps remain, keep beating until incorporated.
