Creamy Strawberry Shortcake Dip Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Cream It Up:

Fold in the chopped strawberries. Don’t overmix—you want little pockets of fruity goodness throughout.

FAQ About Strawberry Shortcake Dip:
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Fresh is best for texture, but you can use thawed frozen berries—just drain them well to avoid watering down the dip.
What else can I dip?
Vanilla wafers, graham crackers, animal crackers, fruit slices, or even broken waffle cones!
Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes! Make it a few hours ahead and store it in the fridge. Add cookie topping right before serving to keep it crunchy.
Common Problems & Fixes:
- Too runny?
Make sure strawberries are patted dry before mixing. If needed, chill to firm it up. - Too sweet?
Use a bit less powdered sugar, or swap in some Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
Fun Variations to Try:
- Strawberry Cheesecake Dip: Add mini chocolate chips or a swirl of strawberry jam.
