How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Dip
Beat the softened cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
Gently fold in the whipped topping and dice fresh strawberries with a spatula until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the mixture to a serving dish and drizzle the strawberry preserves on top. Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or pretzels. Enjoy!
Top Tip
- Chill the dip in the fridge for 30 minutes or more before serving. It tastes so much better this way.
Storage
Store leftover dip in an airtight food storage container for up to 4 days. Before serving, give it a quick stir.
FAQs
Nah. The strawberries become mushy when thawed, and the creamy filling separates. Not a pretty sight.
You can, but it’s not the best choice. If you do use frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them before adding them to the mixture.
We like Oreos, wafer cookies, pretzels, graham crackers, animal crackers, pound cake cubes, and apple slices. All of those work great and I’m sure you’ll come up with some of your own.
