Recipe ingredients

- Plain Greek yogurt. Full-fat Greek yogurt gives the creamiest texture and a rich mouthfeel; low-fat or nonfat work if you prefer fewer calories.
- Key limes. Use fresh key lime zest and juice for the most authentic flavor. Regular limes, lemons or even orange can be substituted if needed.
- Honey. Adds gentle sweetness and rounds out the tartness. Maple syrup or powdered sugar can be used instead; avoid granulated sugar since it may not dissolve smoothly.
- Fresh fruit and graham crackers. For serving—berries, apple slices, banana, or any seasonal fruit are excellent choices.

Recipe FAQs
Yes—over time whey may separate from the solids, especially if stored in the fridge for several days. If liquid appears, simply stir the dip to reincorporate it, or strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth-lined sieve to remove excess whey for a thicker result.
Absolutely. Make the dip up to a day ahead and keep it refrigerated. Stir before serving if any liquid separates.
Regular yogurt is thinner and less creamy; it will result in a runnier dip, so Greek yogurt is recommended for the best texture.
Yes—almond, coconut or soy-based yogurts can be used, but texture and flavor will vary. Adjust the sweetness and consistency as needed.
Serving suggestions
This dip works in many formats—quick snack, party platter or dessert component. Try these ideas:

Recipe notes
- Pro tip: Full-fat plain Greek yogurt makes the creamiest dip and helps control added sugar; choose lower-fat options if preferred.
- Add up to 1 tablespoon more honey if you like a sweeter dip, especially when serving with less-sweet fruit.
