Can I make this Key Lime Pie Dip ahead of time?

This Key Lime Pie Dip is actually best when made ahead! The dip needs time to sit in the refrigerator. It is perfect when made the night before. At a minimum, I suggest keeping it in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. This allows it to come to the perfect temperature, and also allows the flavors to come together.

Is this dip better with cream cheese or greek yogurt?

I honestly love this dip with both. The yogurt version is slightly less rich and little thinner, making it easier to dip things in. The cream cheese version is thicker and richer. Just depends on your preference I think!

Is it safe to eat raw cake mix?

It’s a small amount, and I am personally okay with eating it. However, it does contain raw flour. If you are nervous about consuming, follow the instructions above to heat treat cake mix.

What is heat treating?

Heat treating means applying heat to kill bacteria. You’ll want to do this with raw flour, which is found in cake mix. However, we use such a little amount in this recipe that I typically don’t heat treat the cake mix.
