Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs divided, 1 ½ c and 1 c
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Key Lime Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 28 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 10 oz lime juice

Garnishes:

  • whipped cream
  • graham cracker crumbs
  • lime wedges 2-3 limes
  • lime zest 2-3 limes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, sugar, light brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs. Beat on medium to high speed until it has become light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
  • Add the flour, 1 ½ cups of the graham cracker crumbs, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt to the bowl with the butter. Beat again on medium speed until everything has combined.
  • Pour the remaining 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs into a bowl or plate, and lay out all of the 4” tins on a baking sheet.
  • Create ¼ cup sized balls of dough, roll each ball into the graham cracker crumbs. Place each ball into one of the 4” tart tins. Using the flat bottom of a cup or measuring cup, flatten the balls of dough into the tin, pushing deep enough to create a cavity. If you find the cup is sticking to the dough, dip the cup into some graham cracker crumbs before pressing.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • While the cookies are cooling you can make the filling. Start by whipping the heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer until it has reached stiff peaks. Scrape the whipped cream into another bowl and set aside.
  • In the mixer bowl, add the softened whipped cream and beat on medium high speed until smooth, then while the mixer is running slowly stream in the sweetened condensed milk.
  • Add the lime juice to the cream cheese mixture and beat for a couple minutes on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the filling mixture.
  • When the cookies have cooled, scoop the mixture into each cookie so the filling is mounded a bit on top.
  • Garnish with a thin wedge of lime, lime zest, and a star of whipped cream.
  • Serve chilled. Store in a single layer in an airtight container.
