Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup freshly squeezed key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Optional: lime slices and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Mix graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a bowl. Pour in melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into mini tart pans or a muffin tin to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.
- Pour the lime filling over the prepared crusts, filling each to the top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set the filling.
- In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Spread or pipe whipped cream over each mini pie and garnish with lime slices and mint leaves.
Notes
- Ensure the crust is evenly pressed into the pans for a uniform appearance.
- Chilling the pies allows the filling to set properly and enhances flavor.
- For added flavor, consider garnishing with additional lime zest or colored sugar crystals.
