Mini Lemon (or Lime!) Mousse Pies

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (2 ounce) package frozen miniature phyllo cups (15 shells per package)
• 1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant pudding mix (any flavor, regular or sugar free)
• 1 cup milk or 1 cup light cream or 1 cup half-and-half
• 1 teaspoon lemon curd (optional) or 1 teaspoon lime curd (optional)

Recipe

• 1 thaw phyllo shells according to the package directions. the kind i bought were pre-baked, but i put them in the toaster oven for about 5 minutes to crisp them up a little more. (if you choose to crisp the shells, just let them cool before filling them.).
• 2 combine pudding mix and milk, cream or half and half, and mix until smooth. the mixture will be thick. if it seems a little too thick for your taste, feel free to increase the liquid according to your preference.
• 3 fill the shells with the pudding mixture using two spoons or a piping bag.
• 4 top each mini pie with the toppings of your choice. i used lemon curd and lime curd. next time, i want to try coconut cream pudding mix topped with chocolate ganache, or maybe with some pineapple for a pina colada flavor. some fresh berries would also be nice with the creamy filling. make it with whatever sounds good to you!
• 5 chill at least 10 minutes, or until ready to serve.
