Key Lime Truffles


No chocolate, but packed with the bright lime and graham cracker flavour from the classic treat! A touch of tangy cream cheese adds just the right about of taste and texture. Make a double (or triple!) batch and keep them in the freezer to prolong their life – not that they’ll hang around long!!

Steps


In a bowl , beat together the cream cheese , butter , sugar , lime zest and lime juice until well combined.
Mix together the flour and graham cracker crumbs and beat into the cheese mixture to form a scoopable batter-dough.
Roll small balls of the mixture and refrigerate at least 1 hour to firm up.
Dip in melted chocolate and allow to set.
When coated , truffles can be kept at room temperature for 1 week or 3 weeks in the fridge.
