Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Lime zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the crust mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  2. Form the mini crusts. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottoms and up the sides of mini tart pans or a muffin tin lined with paper liners.
  3. Chill the crusts. Place the crusts in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.
  4. Prepare the lime filling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.
  5. Fill the crusts. Pour the lime filling into the chilled crusts, filling each mini pie almost to the top.
  6. Chill to set. Refrigerate the pies for at least 120 minutes to allow the filling to firm up.
  7. Make the whipped cream. While the pies are chilling, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
  8. Garnish and serve. Before serving, garnish each mini pie with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest.

Notes

Press crusts firmly and evenly for a sturdy base. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, un-topped. Freeze for longer storage.
