Ingredients
  

Dip Ingredients
  • 8 oz cream cheese full-fat, softened to room temperature
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk 1 standard can
  • 0.5 cup key lime juice freshly squeezed or high-quality bottled
  • 1 tbsp lime zest plus extra for garnish
  • 8 oz whipped topping thawed (or 1 cup heavy cream, whipped)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
For Serving
  • 1 platter fresh fruit strawberries, pineapple, grapes
  • 1 box graham crackers and vanilla wafers

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Microplane grater

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. With the mixer on low, slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk and beat until incorporated. Add the key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
  3. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Add the thawed whipped topping.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain. Do not overmix or the dip will lose its fluffiness.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
  6. Before serving, garnish with extra lime zest, a slice of fresh fruit, and serve alongside a platter of graham crackers, vanilla wafers, and fresh fruit for dipping.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is completely at room temperature before beating to avoid a lumpy dip. You can make this dip up to 48 hours in advance.
