-l
2 cans (28 oz total) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
1. Make the cookie dough. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
2. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, finely ground graham cracker crumbs, and salt. Add to the mixer and mix on low
4. Line a half-sheet tray with parchment paper. Place eight 4-inch ring molds on the tray, spacing them out as much as possible. Spray the inside of the rings well with cooking spray.
5. Using a 2 oz scoop, portion the cookie dough into each ring. Press the dough evenly across the bottom and slightly up the sides of each ring to create a shallow shell.
6. Freeze for about 30 minutes, or until the cookie dough is firm.
7. Make filling: Add the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lime zest to a bowl and whisk until completely smooth.
8. Add the Key lime juice and whisk until fully incorporated and the filling begins to thicken.
9. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
10. Remove the frozen cookie shells from the freezer. Using a 2 2/3 oz scoop, portion the Key lime filling into each shell. Gently tap the tray or lightly level the filling so it settles evenly.
11. Bake at 325°F for 20–25 minutes
12. Let the cookies cool in the rings for about 30 minutes, then carefully remove the rings.
13. Allow the cookies to cool completely, then transfer them to refrigerator
14. Make the whipped cream: Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste to a mixing bowl. Whip until stiff.
15. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with an #829 tip. Pipe a generous swirl directly in the center
16. Keep refrigerated
