Key Lime Pie turned into Key Lime Pie Oreo Truffles and made with Golden Oreos. Easy recipe and delicious!

White Chocolate Key Lime Golden Oreo TrufflesSo temporarily living down here in Miami since March has really put me in a Key Lime state of mind.  They really push their Key Lime everything down here…it’s pretty much impossible to go to a restaurant that isn’t featuring some sort of key lime dessert like these Key Lime Pie Oreo Truffles.

As I talked about in my post about our trip to Key West, I tried a white chocolate covered key lime pie on a stick that was to die for.  That area is known for their sinfully sweet key lime pie and that was the inspiration behind me creating these Key Lime Pie Oreo Truffles.

If you have ever made oreo truffles you know how easy and yummy those are… I thought maybe if I used Golden Oreos, graham cracker crumbs and cream cheese that would make these unique, so I gave it a go over Memorial Day weekend.

I took full advantage that weekend of being home and having a kitchen.  Living out of a hotel can be tough on a food blogger!  It’s a rough life, I tell ya.  I’m sure you’re all feeling very sorry for me right now?

Anyhow, these are definitely so much better than the usual, plain old oreo truffles, in my opinion (don’t get me wrong – I LOVE regular oreo truffles!)! These Key Lime Pie Oreo Truffles taste just like key lime pie so if you love key lime pie you’ll be a fan of these!

Nellie and Joe’s Famous Key West Lime Juice

The “key” ( ha ha I’m so funny) ingredient at hand is Nellie and Joe’s Famous Key West Lime Juice.  My hubby and I spotted this randomly one day in the drink mixers section of our grocery store.  This is good stuff.

It is made with both key limes and Persian limes and has a very soft pleasant taste…it is not bitter at all.  You can also squeeze fresh key lime juice.

Another option is to use a combination of regular lime juice and lemon juice (equal amounts of both to equal the 3/4 cup), but it may not be quite as sweet.  Nellie & Joe’s is the best!  Leftover juice can be used for BBQ marinades, dressings, margaritas, etc.

Summer just calls for the light and refreshing taste of citrus, don’t you think?!
