Creamy Key Lime Truffles

If you love Key Lime Pie, you’ll love these fresh and creamy Key Lime Truffles.  I love these as a summer picnic dessert and for beach picnics.

INGREDIENTS

Mix cream cheese with vanilla extract well. Add the powdered sugar and mix again.

Fold in the lime juice and lime zest.

Add the desiccated coconut and ground walnuts and mix until well combined. Refrigerate the mixture for one hour so the coconut can absorb the excess moisture.

Once the mixture has chilled, Roll the mixture into 16 evenly sized balls and coat each truffle with more coconut.

The truffles are ready to eat, but, in my experience, they are better if refrigerated for another half hour after rolling.
