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 chunks)
  • Pretzels (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a stand-up mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla bean powder, and salt. Mix for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust sugar or lime juice if needed to balance sweetness and tartness.
  2. Add Whipping Cream: Pour in the 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream and continue mixing on medium speed until the cream is fully incorporated and the dip is light and fluffy.
  3. Chill or Serve: Serve the dip immediately or cover and chill it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken slightly.
  4. Serve with Dippers: Present the dip alongside graham crackers, cookies, fresh fruit, and pretzels for dipping, allowing guests to enjoy a variety of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • For a stronger lime flavor, use fresh key limes if available.
  • You can substitute vanilla bean powder with vanilla extract, but reduce the quantity to about 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Adjust sugar according to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Chilling the dip enhances the texture and flavor, but it can be served immediately if in a hurry.
  • Excellent for summer parties, holidays, or anytime you crave a creamy citrus treat.
