Key Lime Cheese Ball
By: Brandess
Apr 3, 2008
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.

1

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

The Taste of this recipe was terrific!!! However, it would not form a cheeseball. I chilled it for 24 hours or more and it was still too soft to form into a ball. I topped it with crushed graham crackers and served it like a dip. It disappointed me. I really wanted to serve in the cheeseball form.

Taste was divine! I have made this twice now, and to rave reviews, but cannot seem to make it a cheese ball. It remains a gooey mess that spreads over the plate, even after chilling for 24+ hours.
