Notes
Ingredient Notes
- Cream cheese - I use low-fat cream cheese when making this dip, but you can use full-fat if you prefer that. The most important thing is to make sure it's plain cream cheese. I haven't tried this recipe using whipped cream cheese.
- Monk fruit sweetener - If you use sugar, start with 75% of the amount called for, and add additional sugar to taste.
- Greek yogurt - It's important to use this thicker yogurt. Regular yogurt and low-fat yogurts are too thin IMO. I use plain, but vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt is fine.
