-
2 sticks (8 ounces) butter
-
3 cups salted pretzels, finely crushed
-
1 cup plus 6 tablespoons sugar
-
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
-
Grated peel of 3 limes, plus 1/2 cup lime juice
-
2 tablespoons white rum
-
3 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped, plus sprigs for garnish
-
2 cups heavy cream
Recipe Method
1. In a medium
skillet, melt the
butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the pretzels and 2 tablespoons
sugar and cook until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly. Press about 2 tablespoons into the bottom of each
cup of a 12-cup
muffin pan. Freeze for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar on low speed, then gradually mix in the lime peel, lime juice, rum and chopped mint.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into the cream cheese mixture.
4. Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the muffin cups; smooth the tops. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight.
5. To serve, run a wet knife around each cake, then invert the pan onto a clean work surface. Set each cake upright and top with a mint sprig.
