KEY LIME PIE TRUFFLES
These key lime truffles have all the classic flavors of key lime pie wrapped into one bite-size candy. The luscious ganache filling gets bright citrus flavor from lime zest, and the truffles are rolled in graham-cracker crumbs for authentic crunch.

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.
KEY LIME TRUFFLES
No chocolate, but packed with the bright lime and graham cracker flavour from the classic treat! A touch of tangy cream cheese adds just the right about of taste and texture. Make a double (or triple!) batch and keep them in the freezer to prolong their life - not that they'll hang around long!

Steps:
- To soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper and place in a medium size microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 15-20 seconds. Add zest and juice of limes, sweetened condensed milk and graham cracker crumbs to bowl and mix until combined. Roll into 1 inch size balls and place on a parchment or wax paper lined baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Place white chocolate in microwave safe bowl and melt according to package instructions (all of them are different, but usually involves lower power for short amounts of time and stirring is key; you could use candy coating, which is easier when it comes to melting but the white chocolate tastes soo much better). Take a few of the truffles out of the freezer at a time. Dip them in the melted white chocolate, covering them and making sure to let the excess drip off. Sprinkle with toasted coconut, and/or more lime zest. Place on wax or parchment paper to set.
