lime dip

The flavors of lime and graham cracker taste so great together, don’t you think?  Think key lime pie…yum!

My mom serves a lime dip with mini graham cracker pretzels at the holidays and it is always a big hit.  I decided to create a version of my own.

The lime flavor dip was easy to recreate.  I used a cream cheese base and just added some lime flavor and some sweetness…so easy!

Using an electric hand mixer, I beat a package of cream cheese and added the juice from 3 limes, a couple tablespoons of lime zest, and confectioner’s sugar to taste.  Easy, right?  Just add some mini graham crackers and serve.  I didn’t find any pretzel shaped ones like the ones my mom served, but I did find some all natural mini grahams in the grocery store.

Chobani flip in key limeSince the filling of key lime pie is made with sweetened condensed milk, you can use that as your sweetener if you want to stay more true to the taste of a key lime pie.

Great to serve as a snack or as a dessert!

If this flavor combination appeals to you, be sure to try the Chobani yogurt “flip” in key lime crumble!  “Flips” are my latest obsession!  (Almond Coco Loco is my favorite!)

Thanks for stopping by and remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
