This is a healthier fruit dip recipe that your kids will love! If you’re trying to get your family to eat more fruit this easy recipe is a great way to do it. It’s made with Cool Whip and yogurt, so it’s less sweet than ones made with marshmallow fluff. Plus, you can customize the flavors to switch it up.
Why You’ll Love This Fruit Dip
I’m always looking for ways to get them (and me!) to eat more fruit and this easy yogurt fruit dip is one of my favorite secret weapons. Unlike other recipes that are made with cream cheese or pudding mix, this version has yogurt so it’s lighter and less sweet.
It takes minutes to make and is flavored with fresh orange juice and zest for a citrus twist. What I love about it is that I can switch up the flavors by using different kinds of yogurt and adding different extracts – it’s fun to experiment and come up with new flavor combinations.
This is the best fruit dip – it’s great as a snack or light dessert and always disappears fast. You’ll love this and it’ll get you and your family to eat more fresh fruit!
Ingredients Needed
- Cool Whip – keeps the dip light and fluffy without marshmallow cream. You can use any kind of cool whip.
- Yogurt – You can use whatever kind of yogurt you like fat-free, sugar-free, plain yogurt, or Greek yogurt. You can use plain yogurt or try flavored one – I use vanilla.
- Orange Zest and Juice – For some fresh flavor.
How to make Fruit Dip with Yogurt
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl. It’s easiest if the yogurt is room temperature.
- Stir everything together – if needed you can use an electric mixer.
- Serve the mixture with your favorite fruit!
Expert Tips
Be sure to taste as you’re making it – you can always add a little more sweetness, but it’s hard to take it out if you add too much. You can also sweeten your dip with a sugar substitute, honey, or maple syrup.
