Make the filling and topping ahead of time. Then later you can build yourself a cool refreshing dessert.
Key Lime Filling: 4 egg yolks, 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup key lime juice. Beat the egg yolks on high in a medium bowl for 2-3 minutes until light yellow. Add sweetened milk and beat another 30 seconds. Transfer to a medium saucepan and cook over medium/low heat 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until it begins to bubble. Remove from heat and cool. Cover and chill 3-4 hours.
Key Lime Topping: 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 teaspoons key lime juice, 3 Tablespoons powered sugar. Combine the sour cream, key lime juice, and powered sugar. Cover and chill.
Make whipped cream ahead of time, too. You’ll need: 1 cup whipping cream, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Chill bowl and mixing beaters. Combine ingredients and beat with an electric mixer on medium until soft peaks form. To freeze. place a spoonful onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Put in the freezer for 30 minutes. After they are firm, they can be put into a freezer container.
