Key Lime Dessert Shots

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1/3 cup lime juice, preferably key lime
• 2 tsp. unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 cup aerosol whipped cream
• 1 tbsp. grated lime zest

Makes 8 Servings

1. Combine condensed milk and egg yolks in a small heavy saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to boil. Stir in lime juice and 1 teaspoon of butter; pour into shallow bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
2. Fold yogurt into cooled lime mixture just until combined; set aside.
3. Melt remaining  1 teaspoon butter in microwave in a small microwavable bowl. Add graham cracker crumbs and salt, stir until crumbs are evenly moistened.
4. Line up 8 (2 oz.) shot glasses. Spoon 1 tablespoon crumb mixture into each glass, pressing to form crust. Top each crust with 2 heaping tablespoons lime filling and 1 tablespoon whipped cream; sprinkle evenly with lime zest.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Family Meals Cookbook. This is what I call a sweet ending. If you love key lime pie, you will love this dessert. It's a small portion but it's worth it. It's like eating a key lime pie out of a shot glass and it is flavorful and delicious.
