- Beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add 1/4 cup fresh key lime juice and the zest of 2 key limes. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
