Description

These No-Bake Mini Key Lime Pies are a refreshing and tangy dessert perfect for any occasion. Made with a buttery graham cracker crust and a creamy key lime filling, these pies set quickly in the refrigerator without the need for baking. Topped with a dollop of whipped cream, they offer a delightful balance of sweet and tart flavors in a convenient mini size.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Filling

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Topping

  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined to form a crumbly mixture that will hold together as the crust.
  2. Form the crusts: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of mini tart pans or a muffin tin, ensuring an even layer to create the base for the pies.
  3. Make the filling: In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
  4. Fill the crusts: Spoon the key lime filling evenly into the prepared crusts, smoothing the tops gently with a spoon or spatula for a neat finish.
  5. Chill the pies: Refrigerate the filled crusts for at least 2 hours, allowing the filling to set and thicken to a custard-like consistency.
  6. Add the topping: Just before serving, top each mini pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream to complement the tart lime flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh key lime juice or high-quality bottled key lime juice.
  • You can substitute regular lime juice if key limes are unavailable, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • These pies should be stored in the refrigerator and are best consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • If desired, garnish with lime zest or a thin slice of lime for added presentation.
