Ingredients

  • 1 lb strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 lb blueberries
  • 1 small pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 16 wooden skewers, 6-inch

Instructions

  • Prep the Fruit: Wash and dry all the fruit thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and cut them in half. Cut the pineapple into 1-inch cubes. Leave the blueberries whole.
  • Soak the Skewers: Place the wooden skewers in a shallow dish and cover with water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to prevent splintering while assembling the skewers.
  • Assemble the Skewers: Drain the skewers and pat dry. Thread the fruit onto each skewer in the following pattern: 2 strawberry halves, 3 blueberries, 2 pineapple cubes, and repeat until the skewer is full, ending with a strawberry half. Arrange the skewers on a platter.
  • Make the Dip: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  • Serve: Transfer the dip to a small serving bowl and place it in the center of the platter with the skewers arranged around it. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use ripe but firm fruits to ensure they stay on the skewers. Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes before assembling to prevent splintering. For extra flair, add a sprinkle of blue and red edible glitter to the dip. Serve chilled for the best flavor.Storage: Store assembled skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. Keep the dip separate and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Do not freeze, as the fruit will lose its texture.Variations: Swap strawberries for raspberries or cherries for a different red fruit option. Add marshmallows or white chocolate chunks for extra sweetness. For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of cream cheese.
