Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup Key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Key lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers (divided)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or white chocolate for coating
  • Optional garnishes: extra lime zest, crushed graham crackers, sprinkles

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, Key lime juice, and Key lime zest over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until smooth and combined. Remove from heat.
  2. Stir in the softened butter and 1 cup of crushed graham crackers until well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop and roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Melt the semi-sweet or white chocolate for coating in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  6. Dip each key lime truffle ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place back on the parchment paper.
  7. Immediately sprinkle with optional garnishes like extra lime zest, crushed graham crackers, or sprinkles while the chocolate is still soft.
  8. Refrigerate the finished key lime truffles for 1 hour, or until the chocolate coating is set.
  9. Keep these homemade key lime truffles refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free white chocolate and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
  • If Key lime juice is unavailable, regular lime juice can be used, though the flavor will be slightly less authentic.
  • Store these key lime truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
