Ingredients

Scale

Dairy-Free Creamy Base

  • 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

Toppings and Decoration

  • 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

  1. Make the Base: Place the dairy-free cream cheese, dairy-free whipped topping, powdered swerve, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl. Use a handheld mixer to whip everything together. Mix for about 40 seconds or until the mixture is completely combined and smooth.
  2. Assemble the Dip: Transfer the whipped creamy base into a serving bowl. Spoon the strawberry jam on top in dollops across the surface. Use a fork or knife to gently swirl the jam into the base to create a marbled effect.
  3. Add Toppings and Drizzle: Sprinkle the crumbled freeze-dried strawberries and gluten-free graham crackers evenly over the dip. Warm the extra strawberry jam slightly in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make it easier to drizzle. Drizzle the warmed jam over the top of the dip for added sweetness and visual appeal. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping brands you trust for best flavor and texture.
  • Powdered swerve is a low-calorie sugar substitute; regular powdered sugar works as a sweet alternative.
  • Warming the strawberry jam makes it easier to drizzle elegantly over the dip.
  • This dip pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit, gluten-free cookies, or crackers for dipping.
  • Keep the dip refrigerated if not serving immediately, and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
