Ingredients
1 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream for extra creaminess)
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup fresh key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar, key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and thicken.
- Serve chilled with fresh fruit, graham crackers, or cookies for dipping.
Notes
For extra creaminess, swap Greek yogurt for sour cream.
Add honey or maple syrup for a sweeter touch.
Mix in crushed graham crackers or toasted coconut for texture and flavor.
Increase lime zest or add lime extract for a stronger lime flavor.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Do not freeze as texture may change.
Serve chilled to maintain creamy texture.
