Description

These No-Bake Mini Key Lime Pies are a refreshing and tangy dessert that’s easy to make without an oven. Featuring a buttery graham cracker crust and a creamy, zesty key lime filling, these individual pies are perfect for summertime treats or any occasion where you want a light, citrusy finish. Ready in just over two hours, including chilling time, they’re topped with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

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 mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is uniformly combined and has a sandy texture.
  2. Form the crusts: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottoms of mini tart pans or a muffin tin, creating an even layer that will serve as the pie crust.
  3. Make the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Fill the crusts: Spoon the key lime filling evenly into the prepared crusts, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula for a neat finish.
  5. Chill the pies: Place the filled mini pies in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow them to set properly and develop their flavor.
  6. Add the topping: Just before serving, top each mini pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess and decoration.

Notes

  • Use fresh key lime juice for the best tart flavor; bottled juice can be used but may alter taste slightly.
  • Press the crust firmly to ensure it holds together after chilling.
  • These pies are best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for maximum freshness.
  • For an extra zest, add a small amount of lime zest to the filling mixture.
  • Mini tart pans work best for consistent shapes, but a muffin tin lined with paper cups can also be used.
