Key Lime Pie Cupcakes
These are good...so good in fact, I made them twice in one week!
The recipe is simple.
1 1/2 Cups crushed graham crackers (about 12 squares)
3 Tablespoons sugar
3/4 Stick butter
3 egg whites
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
3/4 Cup lime juice
1 Tablespoon lime zest
1/3 Cup plain non fat greek yogurt
Crush graham crackers and add sugar and melted butter. Mix until blended. Put in cupcake holders, about 2 Tablespoons each. Pat down with a spoon to make a nice crust.
In a bowl, add egg whites, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, and yogurt. Mix well until all is combined.
Add about 1/4 cup of mixture to the graham cracker crust. It should be about 3/4 of the way full. Bake at 350* for 12-15 minutes.
Allow to cool and add a dollop of whip cream and garnish with lime slice if desired.
***My findings- The first time I made this, I used regular limes with lime juice in the bottle. The second time I made this I found actual key limes at the store in a bag and they even had key lime juice. I preferred the one made with regular limes and lime juice. The key limes and key lime juice made it a little tart. Either way, it was still good and a couple people had 2 or 4 :)
Also, make sure you add the lime zest. It really adds a flavorful kick to the cupcakes.
Oreo Ice Cream Cupcakes
Originally I was making these for the kids, but everyone, including adults at these. They were good. Make sure you keep them frozen until you are ready to eat them! I took them out about 10 minutes before we were going to eat them and they were a mess. We ate them outside!
What you will need:
1 Bag of oreos
1/4 Cup melted butter
vanilla ice cream
cool whip
Hot fudge sauce
1 Cup chocolate chips
1 stick butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Assembling:
Line cupcake holders with cupcake liners. Put oreos in ziploc bag and crush, smash, etc. Do whatever you have to do to make them into crumbs! I wouldn't recommend the mega stuffed oreos, there are more cream then cookie. I used double stuffed oreos and they worked out really well.
Add the melted butter to the oreo crumb mixture and mix. Add 2 Tablespoons of the oreo mixture to the liners and press firmly in to cup bottoms. Reserve some for later!
Now take the vanilla ice cream and add a scoop on top of the oreo mixture. Take a spoon and smooth it out. Place some of the leftover crumbs on next. Add a little cool whip and spread it out over the crumbs and ice cream. Now place these in the freezer while you make the hot fudge sauce.
For the sauce, it's pretty simple. Just add all 4 ingrediants and stir while the chocolate chips and butter melt. When all is melted, take off burner and allow it to cool for a little bit.
Once slightly cooled, add some to a ziploc bag. Not all of it! and cut the tip off the bag. Go ahead and add some hot fudge sauce over the top of the cupcakes. Once finished with the hot fudge, add the rest of the oreo crumbs to the top. You're all done!!!
Put them in the freezer until ready to serve. You can keep the leftover hotfudge in the fridge for a couple weeks. Just heat up and serve over ice cream!
Cherry Limeade
All you need for this simple drink is:
1 cup lime juice
1 cup sugar
1 jar of maraschino cherries, juice and all
1 2-liter bottle of lemon-lime soda
fresh limes
!!!You will need to chill all the ingredients thoroughly before using. Everything needs to be cold!!!
Add the lime juice to a pitcher or glass vat. Next add the sugar, then add the lemon-lime soda. After that, dump in the cherries, juice and all. Finally add the lime slices and stir. And you're done!
