Ingredients

1

                        crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count)

1/2

cup Key lime or lime curd (from 10- to 11.5-oz jar) or Key lime pie filling (from 22-oz can)

2

egg whites

3

tablespoons sugar

Preparation

Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray 12 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.

Onto sheet of cooking parchment paper, unroll pie crust. Using 2-inch round cutter, cut pie crust into about 12 rounds. Press each crust round into mini muffin cup.

Spoon 2 teaspoons lime curd into each pie crust cup.

In small bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until a soft meringue forms. Spoon meringue into medium-size food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut tiny bottom corner from bag. Squeeze bag to pipe meringue over top of lime curd in each cup.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until crust cups and meringues are light golden brown. Transfer tarts from muffin cups to cooling rack. Cool about 5 minutes before serving.
