Key Lime Pie Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 14 oz (396g) sweetened condensed milk (about 1 can)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh key lime juice (about 20 key limes or regular limes)
- 1 tsp lime zest (from fresh limes)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature to ensure it blends smoothly. Juice fresh key limes until you have about 1/2 cup of juice and zest one lime to get fresh lime zest.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest. Use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Chill the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly, improving the dipping experience.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the Key Lime Pie Dip with an assortment of dippers such as graham crackers, vanilla wafers, fresh fruit slices like strawberries or apple slices, or tortilla chips for a delicious snack or dessert.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh key lime juice rather than bottled lime juice.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
- This dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add a tablespoon of powdered sugar if you prefer a sweeter dip.
- To add texture, top the dip with toasted shredded coconut or crushed graham crackers before serving.
