Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cream cheese softened

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice fresh or bottled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Graham cracker crumbs for topping

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top for garnish.
  5. Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

  • For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
  • Add a few drops of green food coloring for a more vibrant key lime color.
