Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the filling
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14-ounce)
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
For the topping
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Additional lime slices or zest for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  2. Press about two tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each mini pie pan or muffin tin lined with paper liners, forming a firm crust.
Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour the lime mixture evenly over each crust-filled mini pie pan.
  3. Refrigerate the pies for at least 3 hours or until set.
Topping
  1. Meanwhile, in a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  2. Once pies are set, top each mini pie with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with lime slices or zest.
Serving
  1. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing, tangy flavor.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh key lime juice. These mini pies can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or frozen for longer storage.
