Ingredients

Fruit Skewers

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 medium bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • Wooden or bamboo skewers

Cheesecake Yogurt Dip

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly. Hull and halve the strawberries to create bite-sized pieces. Peel the bananas and slice them into approximately 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  2. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the fruit onto the wooden skewers in a repeating pattern of strawberry, blueberry, and banana to create a visually appealing red, white, and blue sequence. Continue until the skewer is filled, leaving about an inch at the bottom for handling.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Yogurt Dip: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and plain Greek yogurt. Whisk together until smooth and creamy. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey.
  4. Serve: Arrange the fruit skewers on a platter alongside a bowl of the cheesecake yogurt dip. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate both components separately and assemble just before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use ripe but firm bananas to avoid mushiness on the skewers.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
  • If preparing ahead, soak banana slices briefly in lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly.
  • Adjust the dip sweetness based on your preference or use flavored yogurt for variation.
