# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get all the warm comfort of cinnamon roll flavor without turning on your oven or waiting hours for dough to rise
  • The protein from Greek yogurt makes this feel surprisingly satisfying, not just like eating straight sugar
  • That cinnamon swirl on top makes it look like you put in way more effort than you actually did
02 -
  • Don't make this more than a day ahead because the fruit will start to weep and make everything watery
  • If you're taking this somewhere, keep the dip separate from the fruit until you're ready to serve
  • The cinnamon mixture will sink a bit over time, so do your swirling right before anyone sees it
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients mix together way better than cold ones straight from the fridge
  • If your dip seems too thick after refrigerating, stir in a teaspoon of milk or yogurt to loosen it up
