Ingredients
Truffle Mixture
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs For the base
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened Make sure it is at room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar Adjust sweetness to taste
- 1 tablespoon key lime juice Can substitute with regular lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest More can be added for additional flavor
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- 8 oz white chocolate, chopped Melt for dipping
- 0.25 cup sweetened shredded coconut Optional, for rolling
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to make rolling easier.
- Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, approximately 1 inch in size.
- Place the rolled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for another 30 minutes.
Coating
- Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl using a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to coat them evenly.
- Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then return dipped truffles to parchment paper. Optionally, roll in shredded coconut before the chocolate sets.
- Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
Notes
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
