🍳 Instructions
-
Make the crust:
-
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
-
Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of mini tart pans, muffin tins, or small dessert cups.
-
Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to set.
-
-
Prepare the filling:
-
In a bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla.
-
Gently fold in whipped cream until smooth and creamy.
-
-
Assemble mini pies:
-
Spoon the filling into the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops.
-
Chill for at least 2–3 hours (or overnight) until firm.
-
-
Garnish and serve:
-
Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a small lime slice or additional zest before serving.

✅ Tips:
-
Use fresh key limes for the best tangy flavor, but regular limes work in a pinch.
-
Mini silicone muffin cups work perfectly for no-bake pies; they’re easy to remove without sticking.
-
For a slightly crunchier topping, sprinkle crushed graham crackers or toasted coconut.
I can also give you a twist with a chocolate or coconut crust to make them extra decadent. Do you want me to do that?
