Time 4h

Yield 22 to 24 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
Zest of 3 limes
2 cups (about 11 ounces) white chocolate chips
Juice of 2 limes (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
5 whole graham crackers, crushed (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Combine the heavy cream, condensed milk and lime zest in a small saucepan and place over medium-low heat until the mixture just barely reaches a simmer, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the lime zest to steep in the cream for about 20 minutes.
  • Place the cream back over medium-low heat and cook until it just barely reaches a simmer, about 3 minutes.
  • Put the white chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Pour the warm cream over the chips and let sit for about 2 minutes. Whisk the mixture until smooth; if there are lumps, microwave the mixture in 15 second intervals, stirring in between intervals, until smooth.
  • Stir in the lime juice. Stir in the butter. Cover with plastic wrap so that the plastic lays directly on the surface of the ganache. Refrigerate until the ganache is firm, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the graham cracker crumbs on a plate. Scoop up 1 tablespoon of the ganache filling and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Roll the ball in the graham-cracker crumbs until completely coated, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ganache. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Time 3h45m

Yield 5 dozen truffles

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate morsels
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 1/2 pounds chocolate bark candy coating, melted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl cream butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add vanilla. Gradually beat in flour and add milk. Add chocolate morsels and pecans, mixing well. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place on waxed paper; chill 2 hours.
  • Melt chocolate bark candy coating in a double boiler. Using 2 forks, dip cookie balls into candy coating to cover. Place on waxed paper and chill to set. Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. Bottled or jarred key lime juice will not give you the same results.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before you start making the truffles. This will help the mixture come together smoothly.
  • Chill the truffle mixture for at least 30 minutes before rolling it into balls. This will help the truffles hold their shape.
  • If you don't have any graham cracker crumbs, you can use crushed vanilla wafers or Oreos instead.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These key lime cookie dough truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these truffles a try. You won't be disappointed!
