Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (plus a few whole strawberries for garnish)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Assorted dippers: pretzels, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit slices

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: Begin by thoroughly washing the fresh strawberries under cold water. Remove the green tops and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside a couple of whole strawberries for garnishing at the end.

    Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Using an electric mixer, blend the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Incorporate Strawberries: With a spatula, carefully fold the chopped strawberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice into the creamy mixture. The lemon juice not only enhances the dip with a refreshing zing but also brightens the overall flavor profile.

        Chill the Dip: Spoon the strawberry cheesecake dip into a decorative serving bowl. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. Chilling the dip allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, creating a richer taste.

          Serve: Once the dip has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Before serving, sprinkle the top generously with graham cracker crumbs for that delightful crunchy texture. Garnish with the reserved whole strawberries and a few fresh mint leaves to add a burst of color and enhance the presentation.

            Dippers & Enjoy: Arrange your selected dippers—such as pretzels, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit slices—around the cheesecake dip for easy access. Gather friends and family, and enjoy this delightful treat, perfect for any gathering or celebration!
