Ingredients
24 Key Lime Cooler cookies
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice, preferably Key lime
1 teaspoon lime zest
Fresh sweetened whipped cream
Mint leaves or lime zest, for garnish

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Fill 2 (12-muffin) mini muffin tins with paper cups and spray cups with cooking
spray. Place 1 Key Lime Cooler cookie in the bottom of each cup, flat side
down.

Prepare filling. Beat together cream cheese, egg, sugar, lime juice, and zest
until well mixed. Fill the cups to the top. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove
tarts to cool. When completely cool, fit a star tip in a pastry bag and fill with
the whipped cream. Pipe the whipped cream on top of the tarts. Garnish with tiny
mint leaves or lime zest.
