Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all ingredients on your kitchen counter. This ensures you have everything ready and within reach for a smoother cooking experience.

Mix Cream Cheese & Sour Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and sour cream until creamy and smooth using an electric mixer—about 1-2 minutes should do the trick.

Add Sweetness & Flavor: Gradually mix in granulated sugar and vanilla extract until well combined. You want it sweet but not overpowering—taste as you go!

Fold in Whipped Topping & Strawberries: Gently fold in the whipped topping until you achieve a light and airy texture. Then add chopped strawberries to infuse that fruity goodness throughout.

Chill Before Serving: Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This step allows flavors to meld beautifully while thickening up slightly.

Dive In!: Serve your Strawberry Cheesecake Dip chilled with graham crackers or fruit slices on the side. Grab a spoon—or don’t—and enjoy every delicious bite!

Now you have a delightful dessert dip ready to impress friends and family! Pair it with laughter, good company, and perhaps even some napkins because things might get deliciously messy.
