Key lime dessert
DW is on hospice She can only eat food of a pudding consistency I make key lime pie filling for DW in little aluminum cupcake cups. It is just egg yolks condensed milk and lime juice I add green food coloring since that helps me mix it thoroughly. I use aluminum cups with lids since i take 4 at a time to the memory care
1 cup key lime juice
2 cands condensed milk 14 oz
yolks of 5 eggs
green food coloring if you are Irish (O'Key lime pie :-) )
12 minutes at 350 in aluminum cupcake or muffin cups (amazoon)

Crushed - my husband is at the same stage food-wise. This sounds like something he'd enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
I've been wondering how you and your wife are doing. I miss hearing from you here. Your journey is one of the only ones I know that have gone on longer than mine.
