Key Lime Cheesecake Tarts - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Crust
    9 graham crackers, sheets
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/2 cup butter, melted
    2 -3 tablespoons almonds, finely chopped (sometimes I use macadamia nuts for a different flavor)
    Filling
    8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
    1/2 cup nellie & joes dbl strong key lime juice
    Topping
    toasted coconut
    strawberry
Preparation
    Crust:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Crush graham crackers very fine.
    Add sugar, nuts and melted butter.
    Mix well.
    Line your mini muffin pan with mini paper liners.
    Press firmly about a Tbs of crust into each liner, make sure you press up the sides also.
    Bake for 8-10 min, or until crust is golden.
    Let cool completely, you can leave in pan or take out.
    Filling:
    In a medium bowl beat softened cream cheese for about a min( if you skip this step, your cheese will be lumpy.
    Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth.
    Add key lime juice, mix well.
    Taste, if you would like a stronger flavor add as necessary.
    Pour into a pastry bag or a ziploc bag with end cut off and fill each cooled tart evenly.
    Place in fridge for @ least 3 hrs-overnight (the longer the better).
    Just before serving you can sprinkle some toasted coconut and a strawberry slice or just one or the other.
