  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini key lime pies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup fresh lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped topping)
  • Fresh lime slices and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottoms of mini muffin or tart pans to form the crust. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.
  4. Pour the lime filling over the chilled crusts evenly. Chill for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up.
  5. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  6. Top each mini pie with a dollop of whipped cream, and garnish with lime slices and mint leaves.

Notes

  • Ensure the crust is pressed firmly to prevent crumbling.
  • Chill the pies sufficiently for the filling to set properly.
  • You can prepare these mini pies a day in advance and add whipped topping just before serving.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor, but bottled lime juice can work as a substitute.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and coconut condensed milk.
