How to Make Key Lime Truffles

  1. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons key lime zest, and 2 tablespoons key lime juice until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
  4. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. (Optional) Dip each truffle in melted white chocolate or a white chocolate-lime mixture for an extra touch of elegance. Allow the coating to set completely before serving.
  6. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
