Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
- 5 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorations and Dippers
- 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles (divided use)
- graham crackers, fruit, etc. for dipping
Instructions
- Heat Treat the Flour: Place the flour in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high for 40 seconds until it reaches 160°F to eliminate any bacteria. Stir the flour to break up any clumps and allow it to cool slightly.
- Mix Butter, Cream Cheese, and Sugar: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.
- Add Flour and Vanilla: Add the heat-treated flour and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat again for about one minute to fully incorporate these ingredients.
- Incorporate Greek Yogurt: Gradually add the non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt, about 1/4 cup at a time, mixing on low speed to combine thoroughly while maintaining the creamy texture.
- Stir in Sprinkles: Fold in 1/4 cup of holiday sprinkles gently into the dip. Reserve the remaining 2 tablespoons of sprinkles for garnish.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with the reserved sprinkles for a festive look. Serve immediately with graham crackers, fruit, or other preferred dippers.
Notes
- This dip is eggless, making it safer to consume without baking while still mimicking classic cookie dough flavor and texture.
- Heat-treating the flour is essential for food safety since the dip is not baked.
- Use non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt to keep the dip creamy but light.
- Feel free to swap holiday sprinkles with any colorful or themed sprinkles to suit other occasions.
- Best served immediately to enjoy the fresh, fluffy texture.
