These Key Lime Pie Truffles are a delightful no-bake treat combining tangy key lime flavor with creamy cream cheese and crunchy graham crackers, all coated in smooth white chocolate. Perfect as bite-sized desserts for parties or a special indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Filling

  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers (about 10 full sheets)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons key lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon key lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating and Garnish

  • 12 oz white chocolate (for coating)
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
  • Extra graham cracker crumbs and lime zest (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Truffle Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, key lime juice, key lime zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Gently fold in the crushed graham crackers until a thick dough forms.
  2. Roll into Truffle Balls: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate the truffles for 30 minutes to firm up before coating.
  3. Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Optionally, add ½ teaspoon of coconut oil to achieve a smoother, shinier chocolate coating.
  4. Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate using a fork or toothpick, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back on the parchment paper.
  5. Garnish and Set: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle each truffle with extra graham cracker crumbs and key lime zest for an added burst of flavor and decoration. Let the truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate for about 15 minutes until the coating is firm.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the set truffles to a serving plate or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed key lime juice for the best authentic flavor.
  • To crush graham crackers easily, place them in a sealed bag and roll with a rolling pin.
  • The coconut oil in the chocolate helps create a shiny coating and makes dipping easier, but it is optional.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Let the truffles come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
