Equipment
- mixing bowl
- hand mixer
- spatula
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1¼ cup powdered sugar
- juice of 1 lime about 2 tablespoons
- 2 teaspoons lime zest plus more for garnish
- 2 Tablespoons tequila
- 2 teaspoons orange liqueur optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- 4 ounces whipped topping thawed
Instructions
- Beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer in a medium mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar and beat again until smooth. Add the lime zest, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, vanilla extract and salt. Beat until the dip is creamy and evenly mixed.
- Fold in the whipped topping with a rubber spatula until no streaks remain.
- Spoon the dip into a serving bowl, then sprinkle the lime zest over the top. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve cold with salted pretzels.
Notes
- Store the dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Zest the lime before juicing it. It’s easier and keeps the zest fluffy.
- Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled lime juice. Bottled lime juice can taste harsh in a no-bake dip.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
-
- If the dip seems too soft, chill it a little longer before serving.
