You Need This Creamy Fruit Dip Recipe

By Courtney 42 Comments

Creamy Fruit Dip – YUM!

IMG_5516

Last night after settling into our new hotel room, the four of us opted for a low-key evening in with some pizza and games. After a long day, filled with a bout of motion sickness, nothing actually sounded better.

I enjoyed two slices of Veggie pizza, which was topped with green peppers, onions, spinach, and tomatoes. It was pretty decent but nothing outrageous.

IMG_5707

After dinner, we decided to break out the games for a little Phase 10. If you’ve never played Phase 10 before, I’d definitely recommend you picking up a set of cards. It’s a great game to play with anyone…especially when you’re on vacation!

IMG_5715

IMG_5718

Jay usually despises Phase 10 because he usually gets his bee-hind handed to him. But believe it or not, he actually defied the odds and beat us all…I think he must have cheated. Doesn’t he look suspicious??

IMG_5716

My dad, on the other hand, looks anything BUT suspicious, right? He’s such a ham…

IMG_5719

You should really see him deal the cards too…we all agreed he’d get kicked out of Vegas in about 5 seconds. He’s wild.

IMG_5721

While playing our card game, I ended up snacking on a bunch of fruit dip with pretzels and graham crackers.

IMG_5714

Now…let me tell you about this fruit dip.

It’s amazing.

It’s incredible.

It’s highly addicting.

It can be paired with just about anything.

IMG_5516

It can even be eaten straight off the spoon and I will never judge you for it.

IMG_5522

Not only is it a great recipe to bring to your next party…but it’s also not too shabby to have in your fridge. AND it’s healthified…just sayin’.

So the first thing you’re going to do is mix together your cream cheese and brown sugar.

IMG_5483IMG_5485

Next, you mix in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.

IMG_5487

Finally, you add in the milk and vanilla pudding mix, and blend it all together until it’s nice and creamy.

IMG_5490IMG_5491

Let it sit for about two hours in the fridge (if you can) before digging in…then enjoy with whatever snacks you’re got on hand.

IMG_5519

I’ve found that even though it’s a “fruit dip,” it’s really just as good when paired with sweet AND salty (hence my pretzel dipping in last night’s card game).

What are some of your favorite card and/or board games to play?

    oh wow... I LOVE fruit dips centered around cream cheese. and I typically boycot Phase 10 because I get my rear handed to me, too. My mom loves it, and it almost always lasts 2398 hours.

    I have always loved the game Life for some reason, or Monopoly. That dip looks really good! I would pair it with apples, for some reason they are the one fruit that I think always tastes better dipped in something.

    This dip looks amazing! My mom will only play one card game--so I have played a lot of rummy in my day. Phase 10 as well, with a friend who has a penchant for complicated, math-oriented games (this was one of his simpler ones).

    That reminds me a little bit of the sour cream and brown sugar dip my grandma always made me for strawberries when I was a little girl. Phase 10 is so much fun! My college roomie introduced me to it and the first game we played I seriously kicked her butt - she swore I was hustling her @ phase ten!

    It always amazes me what an incredibly supportive community this is. I'll definitely be participating in the auction. Maybe I'll get your cookies ;-) That fruit dip looks positively delicious! As you can prob guess, my go-to pairing would be pretzels, which you've covered. Maybe potato chips? I love sweet n' salty!

    That fruit dip looks AWESOME. We are big dip lovers over here. Love dips. I actually always wanted to open a restaurant that served just dips. You would pick a variety of dips and then a bunch of different things to dip with! One of those pipedreams of a stay at home mom! hehe And thanks a lot Courtney...for posting that beautiful picture of pizza at the beginning of your post. I have never craved pizza this bad at 9am! mmmmm :)

    I think this is perfect since we still have a ton of graham crackers left over after s'more making the other night! ;) Family card games are so fun. I'm thinking about buying the game TableTopics since my boyfriend came home with me to meet the parents for the first time. It could help get to know him better all while being fun. :P
