🍋 Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

• ½ cup fresh Key lime juice (or regular lime juice in a pinch)

• 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional, but highly recommended)

• 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip) or homemade whipped cream

• Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit for dipping

🥣 How to Make It:

1. Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. This ensures no lumps and gives your dip that rich, silky texture.

2. Add the sweetened condensed milk and lime juice. Mix until fully combined. You’ll notice it starting to thicken slightly — that’s the lime juice working its magic!

3. Fold in the whipped topping gently until everything is evenly combined and fluffy.

4. Zest a little lime over the top for extra brightness and color.

5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. The dip firms up slightly as it cools, making it perfect for scooping.
