Equipment

  • 12 cup muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs about 8 full sheets
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Key Lime Filling

  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1 can
  • 1/3 cup fresh key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest finely grated
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Garnish

  • 12 slices lime slices optional
  • extra whipped cream for topping

Instructions
 

  • 1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles damp sand. Divide evenly into a 12 cup muffin tin and press firmly into the bottom of each cavity. Chill for 20 minutes.
  • 2. In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest until slightly thickened.
  • 3. In a separate chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  • 4. Spoon the filling evenly over the chilled crusts and smooth the tops. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
  • 5. Before serving, top each mini pie with whipped cream and a lime slice if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh key lime juice rather than bottled. To make gluten free, substitute gluten free graham crackers. These mini pies can be frozen for up to one month and thawed in the refrigerator before serving.
