Vanilla-Yogurt Fruit Dip!

•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.

You’ll be sweet on this vanilla and brown sugar-scented yogurt dip, and it’s sure to help your family get their daily servings of fresh fruit. Berries, bananas, nectarines, melon, and mixed fruit go wonderfully with this delightful dip.

Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. Place a paper coffee filter in a small strainer or filter holder set over a cup or bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the filter and let drain, refrigerated, for one hour (or more). This will drain out some of the liquid for a richer and more creamy dip. The longer you drain, the thicker the yogurt becomes. (You can omit this step if you’re in a hurry — the dip won’t be quite so thick but will still taste delicious.)
2. Dump drained yogurt into a small bowl. Add the brown sugar and vanilla, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Serve with desired fruit.
