Time 3h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
4 teaspoons grated Key lime or regular lime peel
1 whole egg
4 egg yolks
2 cans (14 oz each) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
3/4 cup bottled or fresh Key lime or regular lime juice
1 drop green food color, if desired
1 container (1 lb) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla or cream cheese frosting
1 graham cracker crumb crust (6 oz), broken into chunks, or 10 graham cracker rectangles, broken into chunks

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, 3 teaspoons of the lime peel and the whole egg until soft dough forms. Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls into muffin cups; use fingers to flatten. Bake 12 minutes. Cool in pans on cooling racks.
  • In medium bowl, beat egg yolks, condensed milk, lime juice and food color with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until well blended. Pour evenly into 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 remaining 1 teaspoon lime peel into frosting. Frost cupcakes. Garnish with graham cracker chunks. Store covered in refrigerator.

I had some trouble getting the cupcakes to rise evenly. I think I might have overmixed the batter. Other than that, they tasted great!

These cupcakes are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, they're very good.
