Step-by-step
- Combine Skippy® Natural Creamy Peanut Butter Spread with yogurt in medium bowl.
- Use as a dip for fruit…or try topping with granola.
Ingredient lists omit the physical resistance you encounter when combining thick nut butter with dairy. Natural peanut butter contains separated oils that require vigorous initial stirring in the jar before measurement to prevent a greasy emulsion.
Fresh Versus Preserved Ingredients
Using fresh fruit changes the moisture profile of the dish compared to using dried or canned alternatives. Fresh apples, bananas, and strawberries introduce high water content and organic acids. Slice these fruits immediately before serving to minimize enzymatic browning on the apple flesh. Dried fruits lack this surface moisture, which keeps the dip from thinning out over time. If you substitute frozen fruit, thaw and drain the pieces completely in a colander for at least 15 minutes. Excess liquid will break the yogurt emulsion and create a watery puddle on the plate.
Scaling and Texture Control
Adjusting the yield requires maintaining a two-to-one ratio of yogurt to nut butter to preserve scoopability. Whisk the mixture in a stainless steel bowl using a balloon whisk rather than a spoon to incorporate air. This mechanical action lightens the heavy density of the peanut butter. Chill the final mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving to firm up the milk fats. Store leftovers in an airtight glass container for up to 24 hours.
