Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.75 cup Desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquefied.
Take the melted butter off the heat and whisk in the honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, desiccated coconut, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture should hold together when pressed but not be overly sticky.
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the dough into roughly 1-inch balls. Roll each portion into a smooth, round shape and place it on the lined baking sheet.
For an optional garnish, you can roll each ball in additional desiccated coconut or lime zest for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Allow the Lime Zingers to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
