Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds dance! As a Florida native, I’ve perfected this quick and easy Florida Orange-Coconut Cream Cheese Bites that’ll have you sneaking to the kitchen at 2 AM like nobody’s business.
Listen, we’ve all been there – tossing and turning in bed, scrolling through our phones, when that snack craving hits hard. Instead of reaching for those boring potato chips, why not whip up something that’ll make you feel like you’re at a fancy South Beach resort?
Here’s what you’ll need, honey:
– 1 package of graham crackers
– 8 oz cream cheese (softened, of course!)
– 1/4 cup Florida orange juice (fresh-squeezed is best, but I won’t judge)
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
– Zest of 1 orange
– Optional: white chocolate chips for drizzling (because why not?)
Now, let me walk you through this magical creation:
1. Break those graham crackers into squares and lay them out on a plate.
2. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese (make sure it’s room temp, darling!), orange juice, and honey until it’s smooth and creamy.
3. Fold in half of the coconut and most of the orange zest (save some for garnish – we’re fancy like that).
4. Dollop that heavenly mixture onto each graham cracker.
5. Sprinkle the remaining coconut and orange zest on top.
6. If you’re feeling extra (like I usually am), drizzle some melted white chocolate.
Y’all, this recipe is seriously addictive! Speaking of which, if you’re loving this Florida-inspired midnight treat, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more daily recipes that’ll make your kitchen the hottest spot in town!
