Margarita Fruit Dip Ingredients

These are the delicious ingredients for this fabulous Margarita fruit dip recipe: room-temperature cream cheese, vanilla-honey yogurt, organic agave nectar, fresh lime juice, reposado tequila, Grand Marnier, flaky sea salt, Margarita salt for rimming, and slices of lime and/or lime zest for garnishing.

Recipe for Margarita Fruit Dip

Begin by whipping the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer. Once the texture is creamy and smooth, add in the yogurt and agave nectar. Blend until just mixed.

Add in the the juice of a small lime, tequila, Grand Marnier, and sea salt. Blend until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time. The longer the fruit dip sits in the fridge, the more time it has to thicken up nicely to a gently firm, fluffy whipped consistency rather than just being smooth and creamy. This is an excellent make-ahead fruit dip. It will stay fresh for three to four days, possibly longer – I just haven’t been able to keep it around for longer than that time frame to experiment. It gets gobbled way too quickly!

Rim a Margarita Glass with Salt

When you’re ready to serve the fruit dip, simply prepare a salted Margarita glass. Here’s how to rim a Margarita glass with salt: first dip the rim of the glass into a saucer filled with two tablespoons of lime juice. Then dip the glass into Margarita salt. That’s all there is to it!

Best Types of Fruit to Serve with Fruit Dip

Today I served mine with short skewers of grapes and blueberries, and skewers of strawberries, oranges, bananas and blackberries. But you can mix things up by adding chunks of pineapple and slices of kiwi, or by swapping out the strawberries for raspberries.

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until it’s creamy and smooth.
2. Add in the yogurt and light agave nectar. Blend briefly.
3. Add in the lime juice, reposado tequila, Grand Marnier, and the flaky sea salt. Mix until incorporated.
4. With a spatula, transfer the dip to a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time. Although this fruit dip can be served right away (the consistency will be smooth and creamy), it’s important to note the longer the mixture is allowed to sit in the fridge to chill, the thicker and more luscious the texture will become! I often make my Margarita fruit dip the night before a party so there’s plenty of time for it to gain a fabulous firm-whipped consistency.
5. When you’re ready to serve your fruit dip, transfer the mixture to a Margarita glass that’s been rimmed with Margarita salt.
6. Garnish the fruit dip with a sprinkling of fresh lime zest in the center of the dip, and a few slices of lime on the rim of the glass.
