Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box (4-serving size) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup fresh Key lime or regular lime juice
4 drops green food color

1 tablespoon fresh Key lime or regular lime juice

These cupcakes were a little dry, but the frosting helped to make them more moist.

I had some trouble finding key lime juice, but I was able to substitute regular lime juice and it worked just fine.
