Key Lime Pie Cupcakes image

I bake over 200 of these cupcakes for our church suppers, and we always run out. If you can't find Key lime juice, use lime juice. Just add a tad more sugar. -Julie Herrera-Lemler, Rochester, Minnesota

I'm not a fan of key lime pie, but I love these cupcakes. They're the perfect size and they have the perfect amount of sweetness.

These cupcakes are a great way to use up leftover key limes. I always have a few limes left over after making key lime pie, so I like to make these cupcakes with them.

I love the combination of the sweet and tangy flavors in these cupcakes. They're the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

These cupcakes were a disaster! The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I had a hard time finding key limes, so I used regular limes instead. The cupcakes still turned out great, but they didn't have the same tart flavor.

These cupcakes were a bit too tart for my taste, but my friends loved them. I think I'll try using less key lime juice next time.

I love the flavor of these cupcakes, but I found the crust to be a little too dry. Next time I'll try using a different recipe for the crust.

These cupcakes were easy to make and they turned out great! I used a pre-made graham cracker crust, which saved me a lot of time.

I'm not a huge fan of key lime pie, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good. The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and tart.

These cupcakes are delicious! The crust is perfectly graham crackery and the filling is smooth and creamy. I love the tartness of the key limes.

I've made these cupcakes twice now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is creamy and tangy. I love the addition of the graham cracker crumbs on top.
