That’s the beauty of it!

Sit Back and Enjoy a taste of Summer!

These are Just like Applebee’s Key Lime Pie Dessert Shooters.  I also made a Raspberry Cheesecake version but the cheescake part was a little lumpy so I will have to perfect that one before posting it!  These are great for a small summer treat after a dinner, we made ours for a Fathers Day BBQ.  There light and not to filling so that are perfect when you want just a little bit of a sweet treat after dinner.
