Prep time does include the 2 hour refrigeration time. 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. RECIPE HAS BEEN EDITED TO REFLECT THE CORRECT INGREDIENT AMOUNTS WHICH LED TO THE FIRST 2 POSTERS CHEESE BALL NOT FORMING A BALL.
Ingredients:
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 )
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl until well combined.
2. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours until ball is solid.
3. Remove cheese ball from the fridge and roll in the graham cracker crumbs.
4. Serve with extra cinnamon graham crackers, baked croissants and pound cake.
