Use regular limes if the Key limes are not available. Unsweetened coconut is often labeled desiccated or pulverized, and is often sold in health-food stores. Ingredients:
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 4 cookie sheets) |
6 tablespoons fat-free sweetened condensed milk |
1 teaspoon grated key lime rind |
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh key lime juice |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, divided |
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, rind, juice, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add 2/3 cup coconut, and beat with a mixer at medium speed for 1 minute or until no longer grainy. Add sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating until well combined. Cover and chill 20 minutes.
2. Shape crumb mixture into 24 balls, about 1 teaspoon each. Place remaining 1/3 cup coconut in a shallow bowl; roll balls in coconut.
3. Note: Refrigerate balls in an airtight container for up to one day.
