Lemon Cheesecake Dip

Lemon cheesecake dip is a sweet dip recipe, perfect for a quick snack or easy dessert.

Hello again, Life’s Ambrosia readers!

Sam here again, visiting from Sugar Spun Run, and (as usual) I’ve brought you something sweet.

Sweet… and a little tart, too!  So let’s dig right on in to this sweet Lemon Cheesecake Dip, shall we?

Even though I consider myself to be someone with a fairly formidable sweet tooth, during the hot summer months (how is it July already!?) I often find myself craving something a little less sweet than the sugary desserts I typically reach for.  I still want something sweet, just not overbearingly so.

And here I’m going to get even pickier… not only do I not want my warm weather desserts to be sweet, I’m also always on the lookout for something that doesn’t take all day to make, and definitely doesn’t call for me to turn on the oven.

Trust me, there are much better things you could be doing than sweating over a hot oven or watching a cake rise while everyone else is enjoying themselves out by the pool.

A little sweet and a little tart, this lemon cheesecake dip is the perfect accessory to your next party, cookout, or potluck!

And that’s where this Lemon Cheesecake Dip comes in. With only five simple ingredients (six if you count the lemon zest, which is totally optional), this dip can be whipped up in a flash and is ready to eat in under fifteen minutes.

Although, I recommend letting the lemon cheesecake dip chill in the refrigerator for at least twenty minutes before serving, if you can hold yourself back that long!.

While I highly recommend you gather yourself some sweet summer fruit for dipping (strawberries and blueberries were my favorites, but apple slices work, too!), this dip also works well scooped atop vanilla cookies or graham crackers.

If you find yourself in a bind this summer, pressed for time for party prep, just remember that you’re only fifteen minutes away from what just may be the best sweet summery dip of your life.

Enjoy!

    I love the idea of adding lemon to a cheesecake dip! It makes me sad that I’ve never thought to do it before!
