Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons key lime zest
For Serving
  • to taste Whipped cream for topping
  • to taste Lime wedges for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted unsalted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand.
  2. Spoon the crumb mixture into the bottoms of mini pie pans or muffin tins, pressing down firmly to create an even layer with a small edge up the sides.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh key lime juice, and key lime zest until well combined.
  4. Pour the key lime filling evenly into each crust, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
  5. Cover the mini pies with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
Serving
  1. Once set, top each mini pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a lime wedge for garnish.

Notes

For a different flavor, you can swap out key lime juice with regular lime or lemon juice. Ensure to chill the pies thoroughly for the best texture. Avoid overmixing the filling to prevent it from becoming too runny. Store covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to a month.
