Ingredients for Margarita Dip

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • Frozen Limeade Concentrate
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • Cool Whip Topping

How to Make Margarita Dip

  1. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese, 6 tablespoons of limeade concentrate, and 2 tablespoons of orange juice using an electric mixer on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to chill thoroughly. For best results, chill for 2-3 hours.
  5. Serve immediately with an assortment of your favorite fresh, cut fruits like strawberries, kiwi, mango, and pineapple.
  6. (Optional) For an extra-festive presentation: Serve in a wide-brimmed margarita glass. Dip the rim of the glass in coarse sugar before filling with the dip.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
