Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup fresh Key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
- Zest of 2 limes
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- Optional: graham cracker crumbs or lime zest for garnish
Instructions
- Make base: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy (~2 min).
- Add flavor: Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest until fully combined and slightly thickened.
- Fold in fluff: Gently fold in whipped topping until no streaks remain.
- Chill: Spoon into serving dishes (glasses, bowls, or a trifle dish). Cover and refrigerate at least 2–3 hours, or until set.
- Serve cold, garnished with graham cracker crumbs, extra lime zest, or thin lime slices.
💡 Pro Tips:
– Use real Key limes if available—they’re more floral and tart than Persian limes.
– For extra texture, layer with crushed graham crackers between spoonfuls.
– Make it boozy: Add 1–2 tbsp coconut rum or tequila for an adult twist!
