Our good friends decided to take their summer vacation close to home this year. They packed the car up yesterday, left me with their dog and took off to Key West. All of a sudden, I found myself craving Key Lime Pie! So I decided to whip up a batch of these Mini Key Lime Cheesecakes; in their honor of course.
These sweet treats are the perfect blend of sweet and sour.
If you love Key Lime pie, you are sure to love these!!!
