With two kids who will be “school kids” this year, I have been trying to get ready with school clothes, sturdy backpacks, and (of course) a go-to list of school lunch ideas and after-school snacks.
As I started thinking about school and the coming fall season, my mind naturally drifted to apples and cinnamon. Of all fruits and spices, those are the two that just scream autumnal school days to me.
(and, since I’m still dealing with 90+ temps at this start of this new school year, I’m all about daydreaming of cooler weather)
This Cinnamon Cream Cheese Fruit Dip is simple — just four ingredients — and comes together in minutes. Just in time for those hungry tummies and their owners getting off the big yellow bus.
Slice some fruit and this dip is the perfect accompaniment! Or, use it in the morning on top of toast or waffles for a creamy treat.
Just make sure to watch your Kidlets once it’s made … my daughter and son took turns sneaking into the fridge for more!!
- 1 8-oz block of Cream Cheese
- ½ cup of Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 teaspoons of Ground Cinnamon
- 2-4 teaspoons of sugar or honey (sweetening to taste)
- Apples, peaches or the fruit of your choice
- Using a food processor, blender or mixer, combine the cream cheese and greek yogurt till smooth.
- Add the cinnamon and blend.
- Begin adding the sugar or honey, a teaspoon at a time till you reach your preferred level of sweetness. Stir well.
- Serve with sliced apples, peaches, strawberries or the fruit of your choice.
- To store: place in an air-tight container and refrigerate.
Oh man that sounds delicious!! I always love dipping my apples, and I think this would be a perfect dip to try out!
I just know my daughters would love that dip.
Definitely looks tasty!
Yum! My kids are always starving when they come home from school!
Aren’t they? Bottomless pits!
Who are we kidding here, i love this stuff, there would be nothing left for when my son got home.LOL Seriously thanks for reminding me that is one of my projects for back to school this year, preparing a list of healthy snacks for after school, as my son is always hungry after school and we eat late, so…
Lol — I know; I will have to make sure I don’t make too early in the day if I want some to be around by the time kids get home!
I tried making a cream-cheese cookie dough dip that I found online once, it essentially just tasted like cream cheese. The addition of Greek yoghurt in this might be a good way to dilute the cream cheese taste. I love anything with cinnamon so I’ll definitely give this a shot.
Cheers,
Martin
