- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons lime zest
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- Optional: melted white chocolate for coating
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and lime juice until smooth.
