So excited to have an excuse to make these fabulous little mojito desserts. I absolutely adore these very fattening little mini ice cream cakes...but I am willing to suffer for the greater good of the group! I halved the recipe and made them in mini muffin trays instead of a normal size. I think that made them the perfect size to have a delicious bite, but not over do it.
Mini Mojito Cakes
1 stick butter
1 1/2 cups pretzels, finely crushed (I did not finely crush them this time)
1/2 cup plus 3 Tbl sugar
1 8oz package of cream cheese
grated peel of 1 1/2 limes
1/4 cup of lime juice
2 Tbl lime flavored vodka
1 1/2 Tbl finely chopped mint
1 cup heavy cream
Melt butter. Stir in pretzels and 1 Tbl sugar. Press 1 Tbl into bottom of mini muffin pan. Beat cream cheese until fluffy. Mix in the rest of the sugar. Mix in lime peel, lime juice, vodka, and mint. Beat heavy cream in separate bowl until peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture. Divide evenly into muffin cups. Smooth tops. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for 8 hours.
It is so good...and you'll have enough mint and lime left over to make some actual mojitos to enjoy with them!
