Strawberry Cheesecake Dip is a simple and easy fruit dip made with a Greek yogurt and cream cheese base. It’s perfect for dipping fresh fruits or graham crackers. Ready in just 30 minutes.
I have a similar recipe for chocolate fruit dip that is also made with Greek yogurt, so I decided to make a different version of it that tastes more like cheesecake, and thus, this recipe was born.
To make this strawberry cheesecake fruit dip, I whipped Greek yogurt and low-fat cream cheese with vanilla protein powder and honey until fluffy. It’s then topped with a swirl of strawberry preserves for that perfect finish. The Greek yogurt and whey protein combo packs in extra protein to keep you full longer.

Recipe Overview
Key Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this Strawberry Cheesecake Dip. The full amounts are in the recipe card down below.
- Vanilla Greek yogurt: I like 2% Vanilla based Yogurt here, but you can use Plain Greek yogurt and add a bit of vanilla extract.
- Low-fat cream cheese: Let it sit out and soften up completely.
- Vanilla whey protein powder: Use your favorite brand, but vanilla is needed for that realistic cheesecake flavor.
- Honey: You may also use agave or maple syrup.
- Sugar-free strawberry preserves: Use whatever brand you love here, and regular jam is totally fine if you’re not worried about sugar. Pick one with nice, big fruit chunks for the best swirl.
- Dippers: Fresh strawberries, banana slices, apple slices, graham crackers, pretzels, or vanilla wafers – whatever’s in the kitchen wins.
How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Dip
Here’s how I make sure it comes out perfect every single time:
Step 1: In a medium bowl, add the yogurt, cream cheese, protein powder, and honey.
Step 2: Using a hand mixer, whisk the ingredients together to combine.
Step 3: Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
Step 4: Put the dip into a shallow serving bowl. Arrange on a platter or tray, surrounded by dippable snacks.
Step 5: Top with strawberry preserves to create a swirl design.
Variations & Tips
- Let it chill longer (like 30+ minutes) if you want a thicker dip. Perfect when you’re making it ahead of time for the company.
- Swap in strawberry- or berry-flavored Greek yogurt for an extra fruit kick, then cut back on the preserves.
- Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers for a cheesecake-crust crunch.
- Spoon it into little mason jars, top with fresh berries, and you’ve got individual treats that look a little fancy.
Common Questions
Probably because the cream cheese wasn’t soft enough before mixing. Let it sit out 30-60 minutes next time, or microwave in 10-second bursts (stirring between) until soft but not melted.
Sure, it still tastes fantastic without it if you do not want the added protein or the flavor of protein powder in the dip. The powder just adds that protein boost, so ditch it if you like.
Yes, up to 3-4 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate it, but swirl in the strawberry preserves right before serving to keep the colors fresh and prevent bleeding.
In an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Stir if it firms up, refresh the preserves swirl before serving.
Yes, you can. Simply use dairy-free yogurt, plant-based protein powder, maple syrup or agave, and a vegan-friendly cream cheese option.
