@Chi-town girl Thanks for posting this recipe.

I think this will be a great treat for the summer. No cranking on the oven, no over the top ingredients and not labor intensive. What's not to like?

@Pezzie - you're welcome! Some clever bakers have given me delicious options.

I would LOVE to make several of these ball recipes on Sunday, but I won't have enough time. Let's see what our recipe friends vote.

@Skyegirl21 - hmmm, I agree, not typical for Key Lime Pie. I bet it can be left out.

@Chi-town girl

Thank you for the recipe. We made 3 key lime pies. And still have limes, lime juice and graham crackers left over.

I want to make the Key Lime Balls rather than another pie. Thanks for the recipe.

These look so wonderful and sooo easy. Thank you so much. I wonder if I could replace the lime with lemon. I'm not very creative so I would appreciate if you think that could be done. TIA

@weight watcher - I am a novice baker so I can't offer 'expert' advice.

But I think substituting lemon for the lime would be fine. There are lemon pies, so why not lemon pie balls?

@Chi-town girl, These would be with Orange also.

Thanks for the recipe, I would omit the cinnamon.

I was just thinking about a Key Lime pie, and these look delicious. I'm going to try lemon as well.

@Neetgal2 , Hw prevalent was the taste of cinnamon? Do you think omtting the cinnamon would affect the overall taste of these key lime pie balls?
