Raspberry Dip recipe

by

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen raspberries)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for creaminess)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Pinch of salt (to balance flavor)

Optional Garnishes:

  • Extra fresh raspberries
  • Shaved chocolate or mini chocolate chips
  • Crushed nuts (like pecans or almonds)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and sour cream (or Greek yogurt). Mix until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the raspberries. If you want a smoother dip, lightly mash them; for a chunkier dip, leave them whole.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup if desired.
  5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with fresh raspberries, chocolate shavings, or nuts if using.
  7. Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, shortbread cookies, or fresh fruit for dipping.

Would you like me to make this more on the sweet side (dessert-style) or add a savory twist (like pairing raspberries with cream cheese & jalapeño for an appetizer)?
