Ingredients for Air Fryer Whipped Feta Honey Dip
Gather these simple ingredients—each one plays a starring role in creating that perfect creamy-sweet harmony:
- 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled (go for the full-fat stuff in brine—it whips up creamier)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (leave it on the counter for 30 minutes first)
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (the thick kind gives body without making it runny)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin for that fruity kick)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder in a pinch)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed brightens everything up)
- 2 tbsp honey (local wildflower honey is my secret weapon)
- 1 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked adds little flavor bursts)
- Fresh thyme or rosemary (for that Instagram-worthy garnish)
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
No feta? Goat cheese makes a lovely tangy swap. Out of honey? Maple syrup works—just use half the amount since it’s sweeter. For dietary tweaks: low-fat yogurt works (though the dip won’t be as rich), and vegan cream cheese can substitute if needed (add a pinch of salt to compensate). The only non-negotiable? That air fryer—it transforms this from good to “can I lick the bowl?” amazing!

How to Make Air Fryer Whipped Feta Honey Dip
Okay, let’s turn these ingredients into that magical dip you’ve been dreaming about! Here’s my foolproof method:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes – this is crucial for even warming later.
- Blitz it smooth: In your food processor, combine feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. Pulse until creamy – about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides halfway (trust me on this!).
- Air fry magic time: Spoon the mixture into a small oven-safe dish (I use a 5-inch ramekin) and pop it in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes until it’s slightly puffed and warmed through.
- Rest & dress: Let it cool for 2 minutes (this helps the flavors marry), then drizzle with honey so beautifully it’ll make you want to take pictures.
- Finish strong: Crack fresh pepper over top and scatter those pretty herbs. Serve immediately with your dippers of choice!
Pro Tips for Perfect Whipped Feta Dip
For next-level results: Double scrape the processor bowl—hidden unblended bits ruin the texture. Warm your honey slightly for that gorgeous drizzle effect. And taste before serving—sometimes I add an extra squeeze of lemon if the feta was extra salty. Your air fryer is your best friend here—no babysitting required!

Serving Suggestions for Air Fryer Whipped Feta Honey Dip
Oh, the fun part—showing off this beauty! I love serving it in the same warm ramekin straight from the air fryer (careful, it’s hot!) with all the dippers arranged around it like a sunburst. Here’s my go-to lineup:
- Warm pita wedges (toasted in the air fryer for 2 minutes first—game changer!)
- Crisp cucumber rounds (their cool crunch is dreamy with the creamy dip)
- Rainbow carrot sticks (because pretty food tastes better, right?)
- Herb crackers (the rosemary ones make me feel fancy)
Pro tip: Put extra honey in a little dish on the side—some folks (like me!) can’t resist an extra drizzle mid-dip!
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Got leftovers? (Unlikely, but just in case!) Store your whipped feta dip in an airtight container—it’ll keep beautifully for up to 3 days in the fridge. When cravings strike again, just pop it back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 300°F until warm and creamy. Pro tip: Add fresh honey drizzle after reheating for that just-made taste!

Air Fryer Whipped Feta Honey Dip FAQs
Can I make this without an air fryer?
Absolutely! If you don’t have an air fryer, just bake it in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-12 minutes. You won’t get that same quick heat, but it’ll still taste amazing. Just keep an eye on it—ovens vary!
Why is my dip grainy instead of smooth?
This usually happens if you don’t blend long enough or use cold cream cheese. Make sure your cream cheese is properly softened, and let the food processor run for a full 30 seconds. If it still feels grainy, add a teaspoon of warm water and blend again.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You sure can! Prepare the dip through step 2 (the blending part) up to 24 hours ahead. Store it covered in the fridge, then air fry just before serving. The honey drizzle should always go on last-minute though—it soaks in if added too early.
Is there a dairy-free version?
Yes! Swap the feta for firm tofu (pressed well) and use vegan cream cheese. The texture won’t be exactly the same, but with a squeeze of extra lemon and good quality honey, it’s still delicious. Just know it won’t get quite as creamy when heated.
Nutritional Information
Nutrition varies based on your specific ingredients and brands, but here’s the general picture per serving: about 180 calories, 12g fat (mostly from that luscious feta and cream cheese), and 6g protein. Remember—good food is about joy, not just numbers! (But isn’t it nice when delicious is also moderately reasonable?)
