Mini No-Bake Key Lime Pies Recipe

4.6 from 69 reviews

These Mini Key Lime Pies are a delightful no-bake treat featuring a tangy key lime filling with sweetened condensed milk, nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust. Perfect for quick desserts, they chill to a creamy, refreshing finish without any baking required.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

  • 1 cup Key lime juice
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

For the Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and hold together when pressed.
  2. Form the mini crusts: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of mini pie pans or muffin tins to create individual crusts.
  3. Mix the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the key lime juice and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Fill the crusts: Pour the filling mixture evenly into each mini crust, filling but not overfilling.
  5. Chill to set: Place the pies in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm and set.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, remove from pans and serve cold. Optionally garnish with whipped cream or lime zest.

Notes

  • Use fresh key lime juice for the best tangy flavor.
  • If graham cracker crumbs are unavailable, digestive biscuits or similar can be substituted.
  • These pies can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • For a sweeter crust, increase sugar to 1/3 cup as desired.
  • Mini pie pans or muffin tins work well for portion control and presentation.
