Adapated from a recipe Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
3/4 cup powdered sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest, finely minced |
2 large eggs |
1/3 cup fresh lime juice |
36 shortbread cookies, commercially prepared (about 10 oz total) |
3/4 cup light whipped topping |
Directions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light; add zest. Next, add one egg at a time, beating after each addition; add lime juice (mixture will be lumpy).
2. Pour mixture into a medium saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until lime mixture thickens like a pudding, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. Spread a heaping teaspoon of lime curd onto each cookie. Before serving, top each with a teaspoon of whipped topping.
