Red White and Blue Fruit Skewers with Cheesecake Yogurt Dip

I’m not sure what it is about putting fruit on sticks that makes them so appealing, but my youngest daughter’s eyes lit up when she couldn’t wait to eat them.

I wanted a healthy cheesecake flavored dip so I played around with yogurt, cream cheese, vanilla and sugar, and it was exactly was I was looking for. The strawberries tasted wonderful with this dip, it’s a keeper!

Make Ahead

This will feed a large crowd, you can make the dip the night before, assemble it in the morning, and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Variations

You can skip the skewers and just serve the fruit in a bowl with the dip.
Use a pound cake or gluten-free cake instead.
