Equipment

  • Electric mixer (for a smooth cream cheese base)
  • Cookie scoop or spoon (for even truffle portions)
  • Mixing bowls (separate for base and coating)
  • Parchment paper (prevents sticking)
  • Fork (for dipping truffles)
  • Microwave or double boiler (to melt chocolate)

Ingredients

For the Base:

  • 8 oz Cream cheese - Softened
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar - Sifted
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh key lime juice - Adjust to taste
  • 2 teaspoon Key lime zest - Finely grated
  • 2 tablespoon Heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Salt

For the Coating:

  • 2 cups White chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoon Coconut oil
  • ½ cup Graham cracker crumbs - For sprinkling
  • Extra lime zest - Garnish

Optional Extras:

  • 1–2 drops Green food coloring - Optional for color
  • 2 tablespoon Condensed milk - Extra richness
  • 1 tablespoon Butter - For smoother texture

Instructions

  • Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in lime juice, zest, cream, vanilla, and salt. Taste and adjust tartness. Chill mixture in the fridge for 2 hours to firm up.
  • Scoop mixture into even portions. Roll quickly between palms into balls. Place on parchment-lined tray and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Melt white chocolate with coconut oil (microwave or double boiler). Let chocolate cool slightly before dipping. Use fork to dip each truffle, tapping off excess.
  • Sprinkle lime zest or graham crumbs while chocolate is soft. Chill tray in fridge for 15 minutes until coating is set. Serve or store as directed.
