Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar, using an electric mixer on medium speed to beat until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour in fresh key lime juice gradually while mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  3. Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs with a spatula until fully combined.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes.
  5. Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to portion out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in short bursts of 20 seconds, stirring in between.
  7. Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  8. Place the dipped Key Lime Truffles back in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Melt chocolate carefully to avoid scorching.
