Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.25 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 0.25 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons lime zest
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and fresh lime juice until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: In a separate heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add Butter to Chocolate: Stir the softened unsalted butter into the melted white chocolate until it is completely incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
  4. Fold in Lime Zest: Gently fold the fresh lime zest into the melted chocolate mixture, dispersing it evenly to infuse the zesty flavor.
  5. Combine Wet and Chocolate Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients mixture into the chocolate and lime zest mixture, stirring constantly until all ingredients are thoroughly combined into a smooth batter.
  6. Incorporate Graham Crackers: Stir in the crushed graham crackers until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture, adding a pleasant crunch.
  7. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
  8. Form Truffles: Once firm, use a spoon to scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Arrange the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh lime juice and zest from key limes, but regular limes work well too.
  • Keep truffles refrigerated and consume within 5 days for optimal freshness.
  • You can roll the truffles in additional crushed graham crackers or white chocolate shavings for garnish.
  • Handle the mixture with slightly cool hands to prevent melting the truffles while rolling.
