Toasted Coconut Key Lime Truffles

Spring is here and I am dreaming of long days by the waves with my feet up and something with lime & coconut in my hand. I am just going to have to keep dreaming because my reality is typically someone throwing sand or choking on salt water waiting for me to run rescue them. BUT…that is what I signed up for when I became a mom and I wouldn’t change any of it.  However, I can still have that lime & coconut while I dream. Check out these easy Toasted Coconut Key Lime Truffles.

I really only needed a handful of ingredients to make this decadence happen. Not pictured my 1 lone key lime that was left in the fridge from another recipe (God rest his soul). He was put to good use and loved the entire time.

I turned my oven on to about 300 degrees F. If you have a little counter toaster oven it would work too. I put a pan of coconut in a single layer for about 5 minutes….or just until toasted. You don’t want burnt coconut. Trust me.

I then whipped the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, key lime zest and juice, and 1 tbsp full of  International Delight French Vanilla Sugar Free Fat Free Creamer. It adds just the right flavor to these yummy truffles. I like to keep it on hand for not just my morning coffee but for recipes too.

 You can also use the fat free or 1/3 fat cream cheese if you are trying to get ready for swimsuit season.

I used my cookie scoop to scoop balls of the cream cheese, it should still be a little soft but hold its shape. If yours is too soft add a little more powdered sugar, or even some of the shredded coconut.

Once in a ball, roll it in the toasted coconut and place it on a parchment lined baking sheet. I popped mine in the freezer to get nice and firm.

I can pull them out and place them on a tray for serving to company, or just reach in and grab one for myself for a momentary getaway.
