Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- Graham crackers, for serving
- Fresh strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese is softened. If needed, cut it into small cubes and microwave for 10-15 seconds, being careful not to melt it.
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Sour Cream: Mix in the sour cream until well combined and smooth. If using whipped cream, fold it in gently for a light texture.
- Incorporate the Strawberries: Gently fold in the diced strawberries, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the dip and adjust sweetness with more powdered sugar or tanginess with more sour cream as needed.
- Transfer to a Serving Bowl: Spoon the dip into a wide, shallow serving bowl.
- Cover and Chill: Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or longer for enhanced flavors.
- Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle reserved strawberry pieces on top and add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
- Prepare the Dippers: Arrange graham crackers or other dippers around the dip.
- Serve and Enjoy: Gather friends and family, scoop with graham crackers, and enjoy!
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Stir before serving again to restore creaminess.
