A brown sugar, crystallized ginger and cinnamon mix that stirs into cream cheese and vanilla yogurt for a creamy fruit dip. Pack the dry mix in a bag to gift it.

Ingredients

Dip mix

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped crystallized ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Dip

  • 1 package of the dip mix
  • 1 softened 8-ounce package of cream cheese
  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

Directions

  • Process the brown sugar, ginger, and cinnamon in a food processor or blender until the ginger is finely chopped and everything is evenly blended. (Chopping the ginger finely keeps it from turning chewy in the dip.)
  • Seal the mix in a small zip-top bag.
  • For the dip, beat the cream cheese and yogurt until smooth, then stir in the dip mix.
  • Cover and chill for about 1 hour so the flavors meld.

Notes

Keep prepared dip covered in the refrigerator; use within 3 to 4 days. Store the dry mix sealed until ready to use. Variations: neufchâtel instead of cream cheese for a lighter version; tropical version adds 1/4 cup shredded coconut and one 6-ounce can drained crushed pineapple; nutty version adds 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg.
