Utah is a big tease when it comes to spring. About this time of year, I am about to go crazy from all the cloudy, dark, inversion haze days that we get here in the winter. I am dying for some sunshine. Then one day we get a glimpse of spring. A beautiful 60 degree day with the sun shining. Now when it gets like this my husband thinks it’s short weather. No lie, he has already been wearing his shorts. We all start to get excited that spring is almost here. Then BAM, the next day it is cold and snowing. That day is then followed by a sunny 55 degree day then BAM snow and cold. I’m telling you I just can’t handle the teasing. I really want spring to get here. I need the sunshine for my physical well being and my pictures need the good natural lighting. So with all this teasing I wanted something that would give me the flavor of spring.
So, I came up with the idea for a yummy lemon fruit dip and decided to serve it with strawberries. This lemon dip is a spin off of the the Key Lime Pie Fruit Dip I have posted before. It really does taste like lemon cheesecake but in a dip-able form. I must say that the lemon flavor along with the strawberries did the trick in helping with my yearning for Spring. It would be excellent to have any day but would be especially wonderful for a bridal or baby shower. Yum. So have a little flavor of spring and dip into some Lemon Cheesecake Fruit Dip. It also wasn’t bad with bananas either.
Lemon Cheesecake Fruit Dip
1 (6 oz) container Lemon Burst yogurt
1 (7 oz) container marshmallow cream
1 (8 oz) container Whipped cream cheese
Zest of one lemon (Optional)
Pour all above ingredients into a medium size bowl and blend with a mixer until smooth. Mix in zest of one lemon if desired. Serve with apples, strawberries, bananas, pineapple, grapes, etc.
A medium Vodka dry Martini – with a slice of lemon peel. Shaken and not stirred.
I’ve had this bookmarked since it first came out and I’ll be making this for a baby shower on Saturday.
Yoplait makes the lemon burst, but any lemon yogurt would do and yes it is the individual 6 oz size.
Nicky, what is lemon curd?
Hi, I was wondering what brand is the yogurt? I’ve never heard of that flavor before so I hope I can find it around here. Also, what size container did you use? Just an individual one or a big container?
I don’t normally post to blogs but I enjoyed this post so keep up the good work. -cheers-
I’m seeing lemon everywhere today and it’s got me craving it! This looks like a very nice way to indulge
Yeah, Utah weather is crazy. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s mean, teasing us and then freezing us or if it’s nice to have these sneek peeks of spring instead of winter every day. I guess I’ll choose the few nice days scattered in there.
This dip sounds sensational.
This looks and sounds amazing!
I love anything with a lemon flavor. This looks delicious! Another great recipe to bookmark! Thanks!
Something about this time of year I start craving lemon. It must be the spring tease as you say. Last week I made a batch of Lemon Curd and ate half of it myself, plain. I will have to try this recipe next. Thanks for your blog!
