Dip Base
- 8 oz dairy-free cream cheese (I use Kite Hill)
- 8 oz dairy-free whipped topping (I use So Delicious)
- 1 cup powdered swerve (or substitute regular powdered sugar)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Toppings
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 2 tbsp strawberry jam (warmed, for drizzle)
- 2 1/2 tbsp freeze dried strawberries (crumbled)
- 2 1/2 tbsp gluten-free graham crackers (crumbled)
- Make the Base: Place the dairy-free whipped topping, dairy-free cream cheese, powdered swerve, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl.
- Whip the Mixture: Using a handheld mixer, whip the ingredients together for about 40 seconds or until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Dip: Transfer the whipped mixture into a serving bowl. Spoon dollops of strawberry jam over the top and use a fork or knife to gently marble the jam into the white base, creating a beautiful swirl.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled freeze-dried strawberries and gluten-free graham crackers evenly over the top of the dip.
- Drizzle Jam: Warm the additional 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam in the microwave for about 20 seconds so it becomes easy to drizzle. Drizzle the warmed jam over the top of the dip for extra sweetness and decoration.
Notes
- Use gluten-free graham crackers to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- Warming the jam slightly makes it easier to drizzle for a pretty finish.
- This dip is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for freshness.
- You can substitute swerve with regular powdered sugar if preferred.
- For variation, try adding fresh strawberries on top instead of freeze-dried.
