Coconut oil provides healthy fats while margarine can be a cost-effective alternative.

whipped cream

🥗Healthier: coconut whipped cream

💰Cheaper: store-bought whipped topping

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Place 1 Key Lime Cooler cookie in the bottom of the cup, flat side down.

Prepare filling by beating together cream cheese, egg, sugar, lime juice, and lime zest until well mixed.

Fill the cups to the top with the filling.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove tarts to cool.

When completely cool, fit a star tip in a pastry bag and fill with the whipped cream.
