- Lime zest from two limes
For Serving

Instructions
- Combine cream cheese and condensed milk: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and half of the sweetened condensed milk. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, whip until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Notes
- Bottled Key Lime Juice: You can use fresh key limes, regular lime juice, or bottled key lime juice according to your preference. Bottled key lime juice works well and provides consistent flavor.
