Key Lime Cheese Ball

Key Lime Cheese Ball

This is a fabulous recipe that I adapted from a key lime cheesecake recipe so I could serve a key lime cheese ball. NO more using that icky key lime powdered mix or jell-o! I serve cinnamon graham crackers, croissant and pound cake with this lovely creation. I have also served oven baked flour tortillas sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

SERVES 26 , 1 Cheese Ball

4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup graham cracker (coarsely crushed cinnamon flavor)
2 tablespoons key lime juice
2 tablespoons key lime zest (grated )

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl until well combined.

Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours until ball is solid.

Remove cheese ball from the fridge and roll in the graham cracker crumbs.

Serve with extra cinnamon graham crackers, baked croissants and pound cake.
