Ingredients

Scale

Key Lime Pie Fruit Dip

  • ½ cup marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow creme)
  • ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 1 tbsp lime zest (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together marshmallow fluff, sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Whip the Cream: Using a large mixing bowl and a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, which means the cream holds its shape firmly when you lift the beaters.
  3. Fold Ingredients: Gently fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow-lime mixture. Use a spatula and fold carefully to maintain the light and airy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours to let the flavors meld and the dip firm up slightly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the dip with additional lime zest for a fresh aroma and burst of color. Serve the dip chilled alongside strawberries, pineapple chunks, graham crackers, Nilla wafers, or animal crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • For the best lime flavor, use fresh key lime juice and zest, but bottled lime juice works well in a pinch.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dip, you can add a tablespoon of powdered sugar when whipping the cream.
  • This dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance, making it great for entertaining.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • Feel free to experiment with different dippers such as pretzels or coconut cookies for varied textures and flavors.
