Key Lime Tarts

These are nothing short of absolutely delicious!!  If you like Lime flavor and you like yummy desserts, then you'll LOVE this.

Yield: 24 servings
Ingredients:

2 packages (6 in each Package) of Keebler Ready Crust Mini Graham Cracker Pie Crust
1/2 Cup Lime Juice (I use fresh squeezed, approx. 6 limes.  I don't like the bottle stuff)
1 14oz can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 8 oz tub of Cool Whip (thawed)
Lime zest (optional)

I learned a cool trick in order to get more juice from your Limes.  Press them with the palm of your hand down onto the counter and roll them back and forth a couple times

Cut each Lime in half and poke each section of the Lime with the tip of a knife

Then squeeze, squeeze, squeeze until you have yourself 1/2 cup of Lime juice (I was doubling the recipe when I took this picture so don't pay attention to the fact that I have 1 cup of juice)

I like to squeeze just a little bit extra because you'll want to strain the juice to get any seeds or pulp out.

Then add the juice, Sweetened Condensed Milk and the Cool Whip to a large mixed bowl and stir until completely mixed.  It will look runny for a little bit but it all mixes together.  Just keep at it.

Oh it's the best fluffy mixture EVER!  Make sure to eat a spoon full all to yourself before you fill the mini pies ;).
Add then use these secret weapons.....

You could crumb your own graham crackers and fill your own tart tins but that's too much work for me.  Spoon the Lime mixture into each pie tin.  About a spoon full and a half for each tin.
Then top with some zest.  

Viola!! Serve imminently or refrigerate.
