Description

Indulge in the refreshing and tangy flavors of these no-bake mini key lime pies. A buttery graham cracker crust holds a creamy filling made with sweetened condensed milk, fresh key lime juice, and whipped cream, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups (180 g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup (75 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Filling:

  • 1 can (14 oz/400 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

For Garnish:

  • Lime slices or zest (optional)
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into mini pie molds.
  2. Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture.
  3. Assemble: Pour the filling into the prepared crusts. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
  4. Garnish: Top with whipped cream and lime slices or zest before serving.

  • Adjust the sweetness and tartness of the filling to suit your preference.
  • For a twist, add a splash of tequila to the filling for a margarita-inspired flavor.
