Key Lime Truffles Food

KEY LIME TRIFLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Mix, bake and cool cake as directed on cake mix box using 13x9-inch pan. Cut cooled cake into about 3/4-inch pieces; set aside.
• In large bowl, beat condensed milk and lime juice with whisk until well combined. In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until medium to stiff peaks form. Using rubber spatula, gently fold whipped cream into condensed milk-lime mixture until smooth. Cover; refrigerate until needed.
• Using food processor, process granola bars until ground.
• Gently stir lime peel into whipped topping (do not overmix). Set aside.
• In 3-quart glass trifle bowl, spoon layer of lime-cream mixture. Follow with layers of ground granola bars, chopped white chocolate and cake pieces. Repeat layers, leaving room for final layer of whipped topping. If desired, garnish with additional ground granola bar and Key lime slices. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

KEY LIME PIE TRUFFLES

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.
