Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

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

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and lime juice until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely smooth with no lumps.
  3. Add Butter: Incorporate the softened unsalted butter into the melted white chocolate, stirring until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Fold in Lime Zest: Gently fold the lime zest into the chocolate and butter mixture to evenly distribute the bright citrus flavor.
  5. Combine Wet and Chocolate Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients mixture into the chocolate mixture, stirring steadily until all components are well combined and smooth.
  6. Mix in Graham Crackers: Stir in the crushed graham crackers thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of the crunchy texture throughout the mixture.
  7. Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the mixture to firm up and become scoopable.
  8. Form Truffles: Once the mixture is firm, use a spoon to scoop out small portions and roll each into a ball by hand. Place the formed truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy handling and storage.

Notes

  • For extra zest, sprinkle additional lime zest on top of the truffles before chilling.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to one week.
  • Use gloves when rolling truffles to avoid melting from body heat.
  • If mixture becomes too soft while rolling, return it to the fridge to firm up again.
