- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
For Serving

Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese with plain yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and sugar until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- Chill the Dip: Refrigerate the mixture until ready to serve to enhance the flavors and texture.
- Swirl in Preserves: Transfer the chilled mixture to a serving bowl and gently fold in the strawberry preserves to create a pretty swirl effect without fully mixing it in.
- Serve: Serve the dip immediately with fresh strawberries and optional graham crackers for dipping.
