These Key Lime Pie Cupcakes are a delightful twist on the classic dessert. Creamy and tangy with a graham cracker crust, they're perfect for any lime lover!
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted. 3 cups cream cheese, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 3 large eggs. 1/4 cup sour cream. 1/4 cup key lime juice. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Zest of 2 key limes. Green food coloring optional. Whipped cream for topping. Key lime slices for garnish.
Instructions: Start by heating the oven up to 325F 160C. Put graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a bowl and mix them together well. Place cupcake liners in a muffin tin and press a tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each one. To make it smooth, beat cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar in a large bowl. Slowly add the eggs, making sure to mix well after each one. You can add sour cream, key lime juice, vanilla extract, and lime zest and mix them in. If you want a brighter color, you can add green food coloring. Fill each liner almost to the top with the cream cheese mixture. Spread it over the graham cracker crust. Bake the cupcakes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the middle is still a little wobbly. Take them out of the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes in the muffin tin. Then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Put the cupcakes in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to cool down. Put some whipped cream and a slice of key lime on top of each cupcake before you serve them. Have fun with your tasty Key Lime Pie Cupcakes!
