Introduction

This Dairy-Free Strawberry Shortcake Dip is a delightful, creamy treat perfect for sharing at gatherings or enjoying as a sweet snack. Bursting with fresh strawberry flavor and dairy-free goodness, it’s quick to make and sure to impress.

A white vintage-style bowl with a floral pattern holds a creamy white base, likely yogurt or milk, topped with crumbled light brown graham crackers spread evenly. Bright red strawberry sauce is drizzled in thin lines across the top, adding a glossy texture. Two sliced strawberry halves rest in the center, showing their red exterior and pale interior, adding a fresh fruit layer. The bowl sits on a white marbled surface with hints of red crumbs around it, alongside other items like a jar of strawberry jam and a plate with graham crackers and strawberries. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 oz dairy-free cream cheese (such as Kite Hill)
8 oz dairy-free whipped topping (such as So Delicious)

1 cup powdered swerve (or substitute regular powdered sugar)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp lemon juice

1/4 cup strawberry jam
2 tbsp strawberry jam (warmed, for drizzle)
2 1/2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberries (crumbled)

2 1/2 tbsp gluten-free graham crackers (crumbled)

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free cream cheese, dairy-free whipped topping, powdered swerve, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Step 2: Using a handheld mixer, whip the mixture for about 40 seconds until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Add spoonfuls of strawberry jam over the top and use a fork or knife to marble the jam gently into the dip.
Step 4: Sprinkle the crumbled freeze-dried strawberries and gluten-free graham crackers evenly over the dip.
Step 5: Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam for about 20 seconds in the microwave, then drizzle it over the top of the dip for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips & Variations

For added texture, try mixing in chopped fresh strawberries before serving.
Substitute honey or maple syrup for powdered swerve if you prefer a natural sweetener, adjusting to taste.
Use regular graham crackers if gluten-free is not required.

Chilling the dip for 30 minutes before serving can help flavors meld together nicely.

Storage

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, give it a gentle stir and allow it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes to restore creaminess. Avoid freezing as the texture may change.
