Mini Lemon (Or Lime!) Mousse Pies
- 1 (2 ounce) packagefrozen 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)
- 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.
- ).
- 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.
- Fill the shells with the pudding mixture using two spoons or a piping bag.
- 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!
- Chill at least 10 minutes, or until ready to serve.
