Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Zest of 2 small limes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
For Serving
- Nilla Wafers
- Graham Crackers
- Fresh fruit (such as strawberries or apple slices)
Instructions
- Mix Cream Cheese and Flavorings: In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lime juice, lime zest, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer on high speed to blend for about two minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Heavy Whipping Cream: Pour in the heavy whipping cream and continue mixing on medium speed for one more minute. The dip will become light and fluffy.
- Serve: Serve the dip immediately with your choice of Nilla Wafers, graham crackers, or fresh fruit for dipping. Alternatively, refrigerate the dip for a chilled option before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use cream cheese softened to room temperature to ensure easy mixing and smooth texture.
- Adjust sugar to taste if you prefer a tangier or sweeter dip.
- Chilling the dip for 30 minutes enhances the flavors and thickens the texture slightly.
- Fresh lime juice is preferred over bottled for a brighter, fresher taste.
- This dip is best enjoyed within 2-3 days when stored covered in the refrigerator.
