Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cups ¼ cup of sugar
For the Filling
  • 8 oz 8 oz of cream cheese, softened
  • 14 oz 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk
  • 0.5 cups ½ cup of fresh lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
  • 2 units Zest of 2 limes
  • 0.5 tsps ½ tsp of vanilla extract
For Garnish
  • 1 units Extra lime zest or slices
  • 1 units Whipped cream (optional) Optional, but recommended!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until it resembles damp sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottoms and up the sides of a muffin tin or tartlet pans.
  3. Pop the crust-filled pans into the fridge for about 15 minutes to help them hold their shape.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
  5. Mix in the fresh lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
Assembly
  1. Once your crusts have chilled, spoon the lime filling into each tart shell, filling them generously.
  2. Cover the tartlets with plastic wrap or foil and place them back in the fridge for at least 2 hours to chill.
Serving
  1. When ready to serve, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and some extra lime zest or slices.

Notes

If you’re in a pinch, store-bought graham cracker crusts work like a charm. Add a dash of coconut extract for a tropical twist. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.
