Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks until blended. Add in sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, sugar, and lime zest. Whisk together until smooth and blended.

MINI KEY LIME TARTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the mini phyllo shells on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
• In a small bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and limeade concentrate. Mix well until smooth. Spoon the mixture by heaping teaspoons into the cooled phyllo shells.

• Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 12 hours before serving.

KEY LIME PIE TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray 12 cups of a nonstick mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
• For the crust: Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the sugar and salt and pulse to combine. With the motor running, drizzle in the butter and process until the mixture resembles damp sand. Divide the mixture evenly among 12 cups of the prepared muffin tin (about 1 1/2 tablespoons for each cup) and use a shot glass or your fingers to press it evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Bake until browned and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Set aside while you prepare the filling. (If the crusts fell during baking, you can reform them while they are still hot with a lightly greased shot glass or the back of a lightly greased small spoon.)
• For the filling: Beat together the yolks and lime zest in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until the yolks have lightened in color and thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Add the condensed milk and lime juice and beat until combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the tartlet crusts in the muffin pan, filling just below the top of each crust. Bake just until the filling has set, about 6 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for about 30 minutes. Remove tarts from the pan (a small offset spatula works well here) and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
• Just before serving, beat the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Dollop the whipped cream on top of the tartlets and sprinkle with the lime zest.

KEY LIME TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Process graham crackers and 2 tablespoons sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs form; add butter. Process until combined. Transfer mixture to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; pat into bottom and up sides. Place pan on a baking sheet, and bake until crust is fragrant and slightly colored, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, lime juice, egg yolks, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and salt; whisk until smooth. Pour mixture into crust (warm or cool is fine), leaving 1/8 inch at the top; return to oven. Bake until filling is set around edge but still slightly loose in center, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cool completely at room temperature; then refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Serve, garnished with zest, if desired.
