Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (or 2% for lighter option)
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (or 1 tbsp honey)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles (jimmies), plus extra for garnish
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- For serving: graham crackers, fresh fruit (strawberries, apple slices), pretzels, or vanilla wafers
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup cottage cheese. If you prefer a perfectly smooth dip, blend the cottage cheese in a small food processor or blender until creamy before mixing.
- Add 2 tbsp powdered sugar (or 1 tbsp honey), 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt. Whisk vigorously with a hand whisk or fork until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain, about 1-2 minutes. The salt enhances the sweetness and balances the tang.
- Gently fold in 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles using a spatula. Do not overmix, or the colors will bleed and turn the dip gray. Reserve a few sprinkles for garnish.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with extra sprinkles. For best flavor and texture, chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve cold with graham crackers, fresh fruit, pretzels, or vanilla wafers for dipping. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
Storage: Keep dip refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Stir before serving; sprinkles may bleed over time. Freezing is not recommended as dairy separates. For a protein boost, add 1/2 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder (adjust liquid if needed). Make it vegan by using plant-based Greek yogurt and coconut cream; note protein will be lower. For a sweeter dip, add an extra 1 tbsp powdered sugar or a few drops liquid stevia.
