WHISK: Add condensed milk, lime zest and juice, water, egg yolk, and salt to bowl with cream cheese. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
Fun Fact! What Is a Key Lime, Anyway?
Key limes are NOT the same as the limes you see in the supermarket! Key limes are smaller and have more seeds, a thinner skin, and a tarter taste. They get their name from the Florida Keys, where they were first grown. Don’t worry, you don’t have to hunt down key limes, even though these are called “Key Lime Cups”—we developed this recipe with regular Persian limes!
