Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Cream cheese– Let it sit on the counter so it comes to room temperature before you make this.
- Sugar– Powdered
- Sour cream– Use full fat
- Key lime juice– It’s often sold in the baking area of the grocery store near the pie fillings. If your grocer doesn’t carry it you can just substitute regular lime juice.
- Vanilla extract– Real vanilla extract tastes better than imitation
- Graham crackers– Both crushed for garnish and in squares for dipping

Dipping Ideas

- shortbread cookies
- animal crackers
- Golden Oreos
- pretzels for a sweet and salty twist

Tips and Tricks
- The graham cracker garnish is optional so you can skip it if you prefer.
- Don’t skip letting the cream cheese soften first. It makes it much easier mix.
- If you substitute lime juice, it’s not a big deal. Key lime juice is a little tarter and brighter but regular lime juice makes a good substitute.
