["First, make the lime curd so it has time to cool. Combine the lime juice, sugar, and eggs in a metal bowl. Heat up a couple cups of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and place the bowl on top of that, heating up the mixure and stirring constantly. Keep stirring until the mixture reaches about 160 degrees (F) and starts to thicken. Remove the mixture from the heat and immediately pour it into a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp or eggs that could have curdled.", "", "Stir in the butter and the zest, and then add in a couple drops of green food coloring until you get the desired shade of \"Slimer\"" green. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to cool in the fridge while you make the cupcakes.""
