How to Make Key Lime Tartlets

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Place one gingersnap cookie in the bottom of each liner.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup key lime juice, 2 tablespoons key lime zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of the lime mixture into each prepared muffin cup.
  6. Bake for 16-19 minutes, or until the tartlets are set and no longer jiggle in the center. Do not overbake.
  7. Let the tartlets cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes.
  8. Carefully remove the tartlets from the muffin tin and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Refrigerate for at least several hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  10. Before serving, garnish each tartlet with a dollop of whipped cream and a tiny key lime slice.
