- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Tips
- • For the smoothest texture, ensure your Greek yogurt is at room temperature before mixing • Use a fine-mesh strainer when adding cocoa powder to prevent annoying lumps • Choose full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer, creamier consistency • Adjust sweetness by experimenting with honey, maple syrup, or even a touch of stevia • Chill the dip for at least 15-20 minutes to let flavors meld and enhance overall taste • Select a variety of colorful fruits for a visually appealing and nutritious presentation • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup
