Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup marshmallow fluff or marshmallow creme
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup key lime juice (bottled or fresh)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- Combine marshmallow fluff, sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed key lime juice (about 2 to or 30 to 45 milliliters), and finely grated key lime zest in a medium mixing bowl.
- In a separate clean bowl, whip heavy cream (236 milliliters or ) using an electric mixer until it forms stiff, voluminous peaks that hold their shape when the beater is lifted.
- Delicately incorporate the whipped cream into the marshmallow mixture, using a silicone spatula to fold gently and maintain the airiness of the cream, ensuring a smooth and uniform texture.
- Transfer the creamy dip to a sealed container and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 24 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dip to become thoroughly chilled.
- When ready to serve, arrange an assortment of sliced fresh fruits like strawberries, pineapple chunks, and apple wedges, alongside crisp graham crackers and vanilla wafers for dipping.
Notes
- Whip the heavy cream carefully to create a cloud-like texture that will make the dip incredibly light and airy.
- Fold the whipped cream gently into the tangy key lime mixture to maintain its fluffy volume and prevent deflating.
- Chill the dip thoroughly to allow flavors to meld and develop a rich, creamy consistency perfect for dipping.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the texture smooth and prevent any unwanted crystallization.
- Customize your fruit selection with tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, or strawberries for a vibrant and exciting presentation.
- Experiment with different Graham cracker varieties or cookie options to add an extra layer of crunch and flavor to your dipping experience.
