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
- 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.
- 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.
- Mix the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the key lime juice and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined and smooth.
- Fill the crusts: Pour the filling mixture evenly into each mini crust, filling but not overfilling.
- Chill to set: Place the pies in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm and set.
- 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.
