Introduction

This Valentine’s pink cheesecake dip is creamy, dreamy, and tastes like strawberry cheesecake in scoopable form.

It comes together in minutes with cream cheese, strawberry Greek yogurt, and fluffy whipped topping for an easy no-bake treat.

Serve it with strawberries, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, or pretzels for a fun, party-ready dessert board.

Prep mode (keeps screen active)

Soften and beat the cream cheese

Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature until very soft, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla until completely smooth and fluffy.
Mix in the strawberry Greek yogurt

Add the strawberry Greek yogurt to the bowl and beat until fully combined and silky.
Stop and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl so no streaks of cream cheese remain.

Fold in the whipped topping

Switch to a spatula and gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture looks light and airy.
Avoid stirring aggressively, which can deflate the whipped topping and make the dip dense.
Tint the dip and chill

If you want a brighter pink color, add a drop of food coloring at a time, folding gently.
Cover the bowl and chill the dip for at least 30 minutes so it thickens and the flavors meld.
Garnish and serve

Transfer the pink cheesecake dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula.
Shower the top with Cupid sprinkles just before serving so the colors stay bright and crisp.
Serve with strawberries, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, and pretzels arranged around the bowl for dipping.

Replace strawberry Greek yogurt with vanilla Greek yogurt plus strawberry jam: Use vanilla Greek yogurt and stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of strawberry jam for color and flavor. The dip tastes slightly sweeter and a bit less tangy but still feels very cheesecake like.
Replace whipped topping with lightly sweetened homemade whipped cream: Whip cold heavy cream with a spoonful of powdered sugar until it forms soft peaks, then fold it in. The flavor tastes richer and more dairy forward, but the dip will deflate a little faster.
Replace pink food coloring with beet powder or dragon fruit powder: Blend in a small pinch of beet powder or pink dragon fruit powder for a natural, vivid Valentine color. The flavor stays very mild and earthy, and the powder slightly thickens the dip instead of thinning it.

Let the cream cheese really soften: Cold cream cheese never mixes fully smooth, so give it time on the counter before you start. If you are rushed, cut it into cubes to speed up the softening.
Adjust the dip thickness to your liking: For a thicker, more cheesecake like dip, beat in an extra ounce or two of cream cheese. For a softer dip, add a spoonful or two more yogurt and chill again to set.
Use a mixer for the best texture: A hand mixer or stand mixer whips air into the cream cheese and whipped topping for a fluffy finish. You can mix by hand, but plan on more effort and a denser dip.
Chill before serving for better flavor: A short chill helps the dip firm up and lets the strawberry flavor bloom. If it feels too stiff after chilling, let it sit out for 10 minutes and stir.
Build a simple Valentine dessert board: Serve the dip in a cute bowl, then surround it with pink, red, and white dippers for a theme. Try strawberries, raspberries, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, pretzels, and a few chocolate hearts for contrast.

Why is my cheesecake dip runny?: Different brands of yogurt can be looser, which makes the dip feel softer right after mixing. Chill it at least 30 minutes, then stir and check the texture again. If it still feels thin, beat in a few extra tablespoons of cream cheese or powdered sugar.
Why is my dip lumpy instead of smooth?: Lumps usually mean the cream cheese was too cold when you mixed everything together. Let the bowl sit at room temperature for a few minutes, then beat again until smoother. Small tiny bits will mostly disappear once the dip chills and you stir before serving.
Can I make this cheesecake dip ahead of time?: Yes, you can mix the dip up to 24 hours in advance and store it covered in the fridge. Give it a good stir before serving, then add sprinkles so they do not bleed.
Can I make this dip without whipped topping?: You can leave out the whipped topping and add more yogurt and cream cheese to reach a good thickness. The texture will be denser and more cheesecake like, with less of a mousse style fluffiness.
Can I freeze leftover cheesecake dip?: Freezing is not ideal, because the yogurt and cream cheese can separate and turn grainy when thawed. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days and stir before serving again.
