  • Total Time: 2 hours 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini 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 freshly squeezed key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • Optional: extra lime zest and thin lime slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until resembling wet sand.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly among small tart pans or muffin tins lined with paper liners. Press down gently to form a crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth. Pour over the chilled crusts and set in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
  4. Beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Top each mini pie with whipped cream and garnish with lime zest or slices if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice and zest for best flavor.
  • Chill thoroughly to ensure the filling sets properly.
  • Adjust tartness and sweetness by varying lime juice or sugar.
  • Customize toppings with coconut, berries, or crushed graham crackers for added texture.
