Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, key lime juice, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually fold in the crushed graham crackers and optional coconut flakes until everything is well combined.
  3. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Once rolled, refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
  5. While the truffles are chilling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  6. Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and dip each one into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
  7. Place coated truffles back on the parchment paper and let them set until the chocolate hardens.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle any additional toppings over the truffles before the chocolate sets.
  9. Enjoy your delicious Key Lime Pie Truffles!
