Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Dip
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 3 tablespoons lime juice (from 2 small limes or 3 key limes)
- Zest of 2 small limes
- 1 pinch vanilla bean powder
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
For Serving
- Graham crackers
- Cookies
- Fresh fruit (such as strawberries, apple slices, or pineapple)
- Pretzels (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Cream Cheese and Flavorings: In a stand-up mixer bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, sugar, fresh lime juice, lime zest, vanilla bean powder, and optional salt. Mix for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and well blended. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or lime juice according to your preference.
- Incorporate Whipping Cream: Add the heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture and mix on medium speed until the cream is fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Serve or Chill: You can serve the dip immediately for a soft texture or refrigerate for at least one hour to allow it to thicken for a firmer consistency. Serve with graham crackers, cookies, pretzels, or fresh fruit slices for dipping.
Notes
- Adjust sugar and lime juice to balance sweetness and tartness to your liking.
- For a thicker dip, chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Use fresh key limes for authentic flavor, but regular limes work well too.
- The dip should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days.
