Honey Yogurt Fruit Dip

Add to Recipe Box

We are a family of fruit lovers.  My husband eats grapes and pineapple almost everyday and my son loves apples and bananas.  My daughter is a fruit freak – if there is fruit around, no matter what it is, she’s usually eating it.  While we rarely add anything to our fruit, on special occasions I like to break out the fruit dip – healthy eating style of course!  For my kids combined Halloween themed birthday party this year we took a seasonal fruit – apples – and cut them into bite sized slices and paired them with natural peanut butter and this super yummy fruit dip.  A word of caution – this dip is so yummy that it’s hard to remember to eat the fruit with it!

Notes:

The amount of honey you will need will depend on what type of yogurt you used to make your yogurt cheese.  Start with 2 tbsp and gently stir in – don’t overstir!  Taste a bit and if it’s not sweet enough add more honey.  Any unused fruit dip can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about 5 days.
