- When serving, sprinkle remaining zest and crushed graham crackers on top of the dip.
What to serve with the dip:
- Fresh fruit is delicious dipped into this key lime pie dip. Use berries, apple slices, or banana slices.
- Graham crackers are perfect for scooping the dip. They mimic the crust that would typically be on a key lime pie, so they make the perfect partner for the dip.
