I made them and they turned out exactly like this. Incredibly delicious

just made these, but substituted condensed milk for a can of coconut milk. It tasted amazing! lightly coconutty, very lime-y and so tropical and delicious!

That poor last pie got barely any filling.

How did u get them out of the baking cups?!

[popcornbones]

had to look this up on youtube just to hear that music!

[lilpthebasedpoque]

how long will the tarts stand on their own once unmolded?

[Menchie]

I tried this. The crust/tart shells were a fail but the filling was great. The shells never made it out of the tin

These look amazing! I do have two questions. Why lemon zest in the whip cream, and how do you make the candied lime curls!?

[jadenpina]

This was the first tasty recipe we ever made.

I accidentally put all 4 egg whites too along with the egg yolks onto the mixture. Would it still work?

[darkfightlight]

can you use normal milk instead of condensed milk?

[Krapsla]
