Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
Topping
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and sour cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla: Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture, mixing thoroughly to blend all flavors evenly.
- Fold in strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries to maintain their texture and freshness within the dip.
- Mix in graham cracker crumbs: Stir in half of the graham cracker crumbs so they are evenly distributed in the dip while reserving the other half for topping.
- Chill before serving: Transfer the dip to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly before serving.

- Chilling the dip enhances flavor and texture.
- Serve with graham crackers, fresh fruit slices, or pretzels for dipping.
- Can be made a few hours ahead and stored refrigerated in an airtight container.
