Key Lime Tarts


Key Lime Tarts

5 egg yolks

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

green food coloring if desired

10 mini graham crusts (or you can make it in a regular graham pie crust)

Sweetened Whipped Cream

Combine the egg yolks, milk, and lime juice well. Add food coloring if you want it to be a nice green color. Place graham crusts on a baking sheet. Fill evenly with lime filling. Bake at 350 for 10 min. Cool to room temp and them put in fridge to chill. Top with sweetened whipped cream.

YUM!

My Notes:

To make your own sweetened whipped cream beat 1 cup whipping cream with 2 Tablespoons confectioner's sugar until stiff peaks form.

**If you want to make this as a pie, pour filling into graham pie shell and bake at 350 for 15 min. Cool and top each slice with sweetened cream.
