Ingredients

Key Lime Pie Bites

1 can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup sour cream
6 tablespoons key lime juice (I use Nellie and Joe’s)
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 packages mini phyllo shells

Optional Garnishes

1 cup stabilized cream
2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
1 lime cut into small pieces for garnish, optional
lime zest

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Set phyllo cups on a baking tray, preferably with sides so they do not slide off.
In a medium sized bowl using a spoon or spatula mix together sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice and zest. Stir until no lumps remain.
Carefully spoon key lime mixture into the phyllo cups. Each one will hold about a tablespoon allowing enough for 30 individual cups.
Bake for 5 minutes remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes. Move key lime bites to a serving platter and refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 5 hours when ready to decorate.
Optional garnishes: Using stabilized cream in a pastry bag add a dollop of cream to each dessert. Decorate with crushed graham crackers, lime zest and small lime wedges.
