Ingredients

  • 4- oz. low fat cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt (112g)
  • 1/2 cup white cake mix (64g)
  • 1/4 cup vanilla or cake protein powder (30g)
  • 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener or sugar (48g*)
  • 2 Tbsp key lime juice (30g)
  • 1 tsp clear vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp liquid stevia** or more granular sweetener until desired sweetness

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the cream cheese, yogurt, cake mix, protein powder, sweetener, key lime juice, vanilla, and stevia in the bowl of a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer) until smooth. 
  2. Test the batter and add more sweetener, if desired, to taste. 
  3. Store in the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving. The longer it sits, the more the flavors come together, and the better it is! Best if made a day in advance and stored in the fridge overnight. 
  4. When ready to serve, garnish with lime zest and crumbled graham crackers, if desired. Serve with dippers like animal crackers, pretzels, apples, graham crackers, or cookies and enjoy!

Notes

  • *Nutrition calculated using monk fruit sweetener. If using sugar, each 1/4 cup is 121 calories and 16.5C (fats and protein remain the same)
  • **I love using both granular sweetener and liquid stevia for this recipe. The granular sweetener gives the dip a sugary crunch and the liquid stevia blends best with the cream cheese to bring out the best sweet flavor. I think it's best this way but feel free to do one or the other! 
  • To Heat Treat Cake Mix:
  • To Heat Treat Cake Mix:
  • I typically don’t bother heat-treating my cake mix, but I am making that decision aware and informed of the potential risks of consuming raw flour. If you are concerned about any potential bacteria, follow the instructions below to heat treat.
  • Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Heat it in 30-second intervals in the microwave until the cake mix temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Mix with a spoon between intervals. Each microwave is different, but mine takes around 3 intervals.
