Healthy Chocolate Fruit Dip
Description
The Healthy Chocolate Fruit Dip recipe begins by beating room temperature cream cheese until smooth before adding vanilla Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. The ingredients combine into a thick, velvety chocolate dip that is versatile and not overly sweet. Mini chocolate chips are folded in to add a pleasant texture and chocolate bursts throughout the dip.
This dip pairs well with fresh fruit such as strawberries, apple slices, or banana pieces, as well as pretzels for a sweet-salty snack contrast. The recipe requires mixing only and can be ready in minutes. Serving chilled allows flavors to meld, but it can also be served right away.
The creamy texture and low fat components make this dip a lighter alternative to heavier chocolate dips, providing a satisfying treat for gatherings or everyday snacking.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature, light/reduced fat
- 2/3 cup Greek yogurt vanilla, nonfat
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- Fresh fruit for dipping, for garnish or snack
- pretzels for dipping, for garnish or snack
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add yogurt, cocoa powder and powdered sugar and beat until combined. Taste and add more powdered sugar or more cocoa powder, if desired. Stir in chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on the top of the dip right before serving. Refrigerate or serve immediately.
