Description

This creamy, cinnamon-swirled fruit dip is packed with protein from Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, sweetened with honey, and boosted with chia seeds for extra fiber and texture. It’s a quick, wholesome snack or brunch centerpiece.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk, about 245g)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese, blended (about 120g, small-curd preferred)
  • 2–3 tablespoons raw honey (30–45ml, to taste; or maple syrup/agave for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1–1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (3–4g, to taste)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds (15g, white or black)
  • Assorted fresh fruit for serving (apple slices, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, melon, bananas, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Blend the cottage cheese: Place 1/2 cup cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and blend on high for 30–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Combine the dairy base: In a medium mixing bowl, add the blended cottage cheese and 1 cup Greek yogurt. Stir together until well combined and creamy.
  3. Add flavorings: Pour in 2–3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1–1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Add a pinch of sea salt. Stir until fully mixed and the honey is dissolved.
  4. Mix in chia seeds: Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds until evenly distributed.
  5. Let it rest: Cover and let the dip sit at room temperature for at least 5 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the fridge) to allow the chia seeds to thicken the dip.
  6. Taste and adjust: Taste the dip and add more honey or cinnamon if desired. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy) to reach your preferred consistency.
  7. Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl, swirl the top, and garnish with extra cinnamon or chia seeds if desired. Serve with assorted fresh fruit.
  8. Troubleshooting: If the dip is too runny, add another teaspoon of chia seeds and let rest 10 minutes. If too tangy, add more honey. If lumpy, blend briefly.
