Today is my Birthday.......I always get a bit nostalgic with every passing
year. I think about how far I've come, I think about the future and what I can do to
be the best me, I can be. I feel like I'm coming into my own....a wiser, smarter, and
better me. I think this all comes with age and life experience for me.
I feel very blessed and appreciate everything in my life...including each and
everyone of YOU. Thank you for taking time out our your day to visit me.
I didn't want to bake myself a cake today so I made the great individual Key Lime
Pie Cheesecakes. They make me happy and giddy. So easy with no baking
involved.That works for me. I can see these being made for Mother's Day or a
ladies get together. Have fun and whip up some of these.
Key Lime Cheesecake with Pretzel Crust
For the Cheesecake....
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 lime juice
zest of one lime
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1) With an electric mixer, blend cream cheese, lime juice and condensed milk
until smooth. Add zest and mix.
Pretzel Crust....
2 cups finely crushed pretzels
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cups melted butter
Stir together and press crumbs into bottom of individual cups.
Serve with fresh sweetened whipped cream, lime zest and pretzel crumbs.
Happy happy birthday! Nothing wrong with this dessert! Such a fun take on the original. Key lime pie is my husbands favorite dessert. I must make this for him. Do lots of special things for YOU today

ReplyDeleteI wanted to share with you about your recipe for Mexican Meatball Sub recipe. This is Judy, Shauna's mom and I saw your comment on Shauna's blog. I have a 20 (almost 21) year old son at home. He is a pretty fussy eater, he loves my cooking for he is not easy to please. He "loves, loves, loves" these sandwiches. I made them for him and it was all he would eat for a week. I would not normally comment on one of my daughters blog friends sites, but as a cook I know how it is so gratifying to have your meals so well received.
So Happy Birthday Val....I will be trying these for a ladies get together in the very near future. Thanks!! Judy
