Steps:

• Combine the heavy cream, condensed milk and lime zest in a small saucepan and place over medium-low heat until the mixture just barely reaches a simmer, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the lime zest to steep in the cream for about 20 minutes.
• Place the cream back over medium-low heat and cook until it just barely reaches a simmer, about 3 minutes.
• Put the white chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Pour the warm cream over the chips and let sit for about 2 minutes. Whisk the mixture until smooth; if there are lumps, microwave the mixture in 15 second intervals, stirring in between intervals, until smooth.

Roll the ball in the graham-cracker crumbs until completely coated, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ganache. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
