Soften the cream cheese: Leave the block at room temperature for 30–45 minutes.
Soft cream cheese blends smoother and avoids lumps.
Whip the base: In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sweetener, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until creamy and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon as needed.
Make a quick blueberry mash: In a small bowl, lightly mash 1/2 cup of the blueberries with a fork.
You want some juices and some whole bits. This gives the dip that blueberry cheesecake swirl.
Fold and swirl: Gently fold the mashed blueberries into the cheesecake mixture until you see streaks of purple running through. Don’t fully blend or you’ll lose the pretty marbling.
Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup whole blueberries.
Chill (optional but recommended): Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes. Chilling helps the flavors meld and the texture set.
Garnish and serve: Top with a few extra blueberries, a pinch of lemon zest, or a sprig of mint. Serve with low-carb dippers like cucumber rounds, celery sticks, sliced strawberries, almond flour crackers, or small wedges of 90% dark chocolate for a treat.
