This month for Taste & Create I was paired with Karolcia of For the body and soul blog. Karlocia is a girl after my own heart....a lot of muffins, a lot of white chocolate, and a lot of coconut. As soon as I saw the recipe for Lime, white chocolate and coconut muffins - I knew I would be making it!
At first I was a little worried there wasn't enough sugar, but never fear, the white chocolate adds sweetness to this muffin! I'm also pretty proud of my lime sectioning - I did an awesome job. Too bad I never thought to take a photo! I never realized how easy it was to section a citrus fruit before!
These tasted great. They were sweet enough, had that coconut lime kick and will make Grumpy happy with the white chocolate! I did follow Karolcia's recipe as it was with the exception I wasn't sure what to do with the lime rind. I ended up putting some of it in the batter and some for garnish. Also, in the future, I will not bake at 390 - this was too warm for my oven. I would go with 350 degrees. I baked at 390 for 15 minutes and had to pull them out because they were getting a bit overbrowned.
Thanks again to Nicole of For the Love of Food for hosting Taste & Create. If your interested, take a look at her site and send her the email to join up for May!

My tastebuds are positively aching for one of these!
Nice. Those look mad good. :)
I love this flavor combination. If only I could get the rest of the family to love coconut.
I love these flavors together!! They look so yummy!
Love the addition of lime into sweet baked goods: freshens things up!
Oh gosh Shelby, these look awesome. My dad loves coconut so I will be making a batch for him!
What a wonderful combination of flavors!
What a great looking muffin!!!
These sound great and what an inspired entry. When I first saw them the the topping reminded me of coconut macaroons my grandmother used to make...nothing like them really but isn't it funny how a tiny glimpse can spark a whole memory!! Have a great day!
Can't wait to try love the thought of lime and coconut together.
I love the light color of these muffins! They look so dainty, as if they belong on fine china. Needless to say, the flavor combo sounds delicious!
I know what I am making soon - they look incredible Shelby.
lime, white chocolate, coconut...oh my god. what a heavenly combination.
these look fantastic!!! I am going to try these this weekend!!
those muffins sound and look delicious!
You're killing me! Must... make... NOW! YUM! :)
I think you just fit the essence of summer into a muffin, and man, do I want one. Talk about some of my favorite flavors ever. These muffins look fabulous!
I'm happy you liked them :-)
I haven't decide what to make from your blog yet. There are so many good recipes here, that it's going to be hard to chose only one ;-)
I love that there is a little rind in there. Looks so pretty.

White chocolate, lime and coconut sound like a great flavour combo!
It's me again. First, I have to apologize to you for not posting any of your recipes on my blog yet. I know I was supposed to make something from your blog till today, but I've just signed for too many events this month and then got sick. Now I have three deadlines the same weekend and just cannot make all the things at the same time. I didn't forget about you though and I'll certailny cook something from your blog later next week.
