Key Lime Pie Dip
I love a good dessert dip. I also love key lime pie. So why not combine the two together and feast on this delicious key lime pie dip.

I was first introduced to Key Lime Pie when I first set foot in Key West. It was my first cruise and I instantly fell in love with everything the Florida Keys: the food, the weather, and the key lime pie. I had my first-ever slice of key lime pie at Kermit’s and it made a lasting impression.
Fast-forward a few months and I went on a press trip with some of my favorite people. We visited Key West (see where to stay in Key West) and moved up to Duck Key to Hawks Cay Resort where I had the best key lime pie of my life (trust me, we tested key lime pie at every meal for five days – this was THE BEST). Thankfully the awesome people at Hawks Cay sent me the recipe and I shared it with you a few months ago.
I love that this recipe has a cream cheese base! It adds a cheesecake feel to this key lime pie dip! You may be surprised that I used Cool Whip to fold into the cream cheese base (seen above) rather than homemade whipped cream, but it was easier to do that today. Sometimes convenience wins, and that’s totally okay in moderation.
I had planned to make this key lime pie dip back in June, but life got the best of me. Here we are in August and I’m finally getting down to it. So let’s do it, shall we?
Key Lime Pie Dessert Dip
Supplies needed:
- Key lime juice (not lime concentrate).
- KitchenAid Mixer
TBK’s Pro Tip: I love a heavy key lime flavour, but if you want a creamier flavoured dip reduce it to 1/4 cup key lime juice.

Hi Colleen! Thanks so much for stopping by and your kind words 🙂
Easy and delish! Perfect. I threw some zest in the dip then some on top.
