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!"

directions

  • 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 (or freeze at this point).
  • 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.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Montessori teacher, nutritionist and pastry chef: baking is my passion, but teaching the value of good food to whole families is close to my heart too! I have a passion for re-instilling the love of good-quality, home-made and mostly healthy food into the hearts and kitchens of children and their families today. I believe that any ?homemade? food, even when labelled as naughty, is a more wholesome treat than pre-packaged, cookie-cutter junk.</p> 9408826"
