Happy St. Patrick's Day

KEY LIME MOUSSE
1 recipe Sugar-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk (recipe follows)
1/2 cup lime juice (Key lime is best)
Grated zest of two limes
One 8-ounce container Cool Whip OR 3 cups Splenda-sweetened whipped cream
Graham cracker or sugar-free cookie crumbs for garnish

SF Sweetened Condensed Milk
4 tablespoons softened butter
3/4 cup Splenda
1 cup powdered milk (dry)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

For sweetened condensed milk:
Blend 1/3 cup boiling water, softened butter, powdered milk, and vanilla together with a hand mixer until thick and smooth. (I use it right away as this gets VERY thick when cold. If you do chill it, microwave for a couple seconds to lukewarm and stir. May need to thin by adding a couple tablespoons of milk.)

For mousse:
Whip together sugar free sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest.
Fold in the whipped topping or whipped cream.
Spoon into individual dessert dishes (or into a prepared crust.)
Garnish with graham cracker crumbs.
Makes six servings.
