Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

Add the cream and key lime juice, processing until just combined.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Roll out dough until it is about a 1/2″ thick.

Let dough rest in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

With a knife, cut the dough into small triangles.
