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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquefied.

Step 2

Take the melted butter off the heat and whisk in the honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, desiccated coconut, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

For an optional garnish, you can roll each ball in additional desiccated coconut or lime zest for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Step 8

Allow the Lime Zingers to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Step 9

Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
