Key Lime Pie Cheesecake Dip – A sweet and tangy dip that tastes just like key lime cheesecake! Â This dip is no bake and super simple to whip up. Â The perfect cool and creamy summer dessert!
THIS RECIPE HAS BEEN SO POPULAR WE MADE A VIDEO! Â CHECK IT OUT BELOW!
I’m officially craving anything that tastes like summer right now!
It’s been incredibly warm here and since it’s too early in the year to go swimming and cool off…..I’ll just cool off with this creamy key lime pie dip.
Logic. Â Right?
But, really, my kids have been begging me to get one of those plastic pools from the store and fill it up for them.
Sadly, the answer has been no.
I did have to laugh at the thought of two almost teenage (cringe) kiddos in a tiny plastic pool!
Pretty sure they weren’t thrilled with my dip instead of pool offering.
I personally think it’s a perfectly fair compromise.
This dip is so delicious….just give me a spoon and let me dive in, please.
It’s not overly sweet which I like. Â Key lime things are supposed to have a prominent tang in my book.
Best part about this dip? Â 10 minutes or less to put together. Â Boom. Snack time.
It makes a decent amount too, and no matter how badly you want to eat the entire bowl of silky goodness, you should probably share. Â Because, it’s gonna be your favorite dip to take to all of your summer cookouts and parties this year.
Enjoy!

Do you use this as an appetizer or dessert?
Martha
Either one 🙂
I used Truvia instead of sugar and also used heavy cream. It turned out great! So tasty!
Why would you sub the sugar then use heavy cream ? Judy asking thanks
Would the sugar be able to be cut down to a 1/4 cup or less?
Hello, How big are the limes that you used? Any idea how much juice was squeezed out of the limes? The limes I have currently are quite large, probably 1.5 times bigger than your normal lime.
Hi! My limes were fairly small. I’d start with one if yours are large, and then taste test from there for preference.
I have a bottle of key lime juice. How much should I use?
I would go for 1-2 Tablespoons, then taste from there for preference.
I’m planning to make this with key lime juice as well. How much did you end up using?
This dip looks amazing! Perfect for summertime pool parties. Can’t wait to try it!
Can you put in a pie crust… Make a pie????
This particular recipe wouldn’t firm up enough to make a pie.
How long does this keep ?
Hi Carol, honestly, I don’t usually have any left to save! I’d say once it’s mixed up it would be good covered, in the refrigerator, for 3-4 days.
Is this canned milk, whole milk or can you use almonds milk
Whole milk or almond milk will work fine! 🙂
I’m making this the night before a BBQ, should I let us sit out before serving or does the consistency stay creamy in the fridge?
Hi Kathleen! It stays pretty creamy, but can stiffen up a little in the fridge. I typically take it out about 10-15 minutes before serving.
