The cupcake world just got a
whole lot better, and because we love our fans, we are giving you the secret
recipe that will show you why! We tried them ourselves, and the results were
unanimous: YUUUMMM!!
Ingredients
- 2-4 Key Lime Coconut Patties
- 1 package of 8-pc mini Key Lime Coconut Patties
- 1 Pouch (1 Ib 1.5 oz) of sugar cookies mix
- 6 tablespoons of butter or margarine, softened
- 4 teaspoons of grated key lime or regular lime peel
- 1 whole egg
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 cans (14 oz each) of sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
- ¾ cup of fresh key lime juice or regular lime juice
- 1 drop of green food coloring, if desired
- 1 container of vanilla or cream cheese frosting
- 1 package of graham crackers
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 375 Degrees. These cupcakes are
double-layered, so keep that in mind for the amount of mixture you pour in for each
layer.
(Look how the cupcake has two layers!) |
Top Layer: Carefully trim the chocolate off of the Coconut Patties. Cut
the coconut into small pieces and then finely chop the pieces in a food
processor.
In medium bowl, beat the Coconut Patties mixture (from food processor),
4 egg yolks, condensed milk, lime juice, and food coloring with an electric
mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute or until well blended. Pour evenly on top
of the partially baked crusts, filling each about three-fourths full.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are set and centers are
still soft. Cool 20 minutes. Cover; refrigerate until chilled (at least 2 hours
but no longer than 2 days).
Stir the remaining 1 teaspoon of lime peel into frosting.
Frost cupcakes. Garnish with Graham Cracker pieces and a mini Key Lime Coconut
Patty and enjoy!!
