Key Lime Cheesecake Truffles

May 9, 2015 by Leia

I’ve never been a big fan of sour things.  I could never eat Sour Patch Kids.   Other sour candies would give me the worst pucker mouth, for sure.

So, when it came to key limes, I just steered clear of them.  I wasn’t interested in eating something sour.  Until a few months ago when I tried a bite of Key Lime Pie from Cafe Rio.  That changed everything.  Since then I have been dreaming of what I could do with Key Limes.  I’ve also been dreaming of actually being able to find them.  Remember I live in a tiny town, and the store doesn’t usually carry foods that are non-staples.

However, I got some Key Limes in one of my Bountiful Basket orders last weekend!  Yay!  So, I decided to make some Key Lime Cheesecake Truffles.  And I’m glad I did.

I used Golden Oreos and cream cheese as the base, and then added key lime juice and zest.  Easy peasy.

After forming the balls and giving them a quick rest in the freezer, I dipped them in white candy melts and sprinkled some more key lime zest on the top.

    I’ve been wanting to make truffles for so long, but they just seem so difficult! These look so decadent, though, and you make it sound so easy. Maybe soon 🙂

      Raquel, you can totally make them! They are easier than they seem. 🙂

    Aren’t key limes great! As someone that is crazy about sour and citric desserts, these truffles would definitely be a big hit. They look so moorish and delicious!

      Thanks, Thalia! They are good, but rich. Don’t forget a glass of milk! 😉

    Oh my these look delicious! Such a great idea to use the cookie and cream cheese as a truffle filling. Can’t get golden oreos here in London but will be experimenting with others. Gorgeous photos too!

    How long do you leave them in the freezer? Thanks!

      About 15 minutes. 🙂

    Hey, can you tell me how many grams is 1,14 oz? Thank you, greetings from Croatia

    • Leia

      Hi Jana! I found online that 3 oz of crushed graham crackers equals 84 grams. So I guess 14 oz would be about 392 grams. Now, I’m not used to measuring in grams so I hope that seems correct. When I get home from work this evening I can definitely measure it to be sure. If you can wait until then, I’ll post my results here in the comments for you. 🙂 I hope that helps!

      Hey Jana, I just looked on a 14 oz box of graham crackers and it says 408 grams. 🙂

      Great idea to use dark chocolate! I’m so glad you liked them!!

    Question – I live in the UK and I’ve never heard of golden Oreos what could I use that’s similar?

    • Leia

      Linzi, do you have Nilla Wafers there? I bet those would taste good as a substitute. 🙂

    Hi! This sounds wonderful, but I had a few question:

    Do you use all the oreos from the 14oz package? With the cream filling?

    Thanks for your help!

      Hi Jay! Yes, I use all of the Oreos in the package, with the cream filling.
