Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
- 8 tablespoons butter unsalted, room temperature
- 1/4 cup tequila or lime liqueur
- 1 tablespoon triple sec
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- lime zest for garnish
Instructions
- Cream together the butter and cream cheese.
- Add the powdered sugar.
- Stir in the triple sec and spirit of your choice (tequila/lime liqueur) and stir to combine.
- When fully mixed, fold in the whipped topping.
- Place in serving dish or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Serve with salted pretzels.
Notes
- Be sure to have the cream cheese and butter at room temperature to make mixing easier.
- If you don't use lime liqueur, you might want to add a little lime juice to the dip for extra flavor. The lime zest might not be enough.
- I use this zester to get the most amount of zest.
- For limes that are close to being past their prime, I zest and then juice them. Store the zest and juice separately in these containers in the freezer.
