  • 0.5 cups ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cups ¼ cup of sugar
For the Filling
  • 1 can 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 0.5 cups ½ cup of fresh key lime juice (or regular lime juice if needed)
  • 1 cups 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp 2 tbsp of powdered sugar
  • Lime zest for garnish Optional, but highly recommended!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix until it looks like wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into mini pie pans or muffin tins.
Making the Filling
  1. In another bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and fresh key lime juice until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture.
Assembling
  1. Fill each mini crust with key lime filling, smoothing the top.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Serving
  1. Garnish with lime zest and a dollop of whipped cream before serving.

Notes

Key lime juice can be substituted with regular lime juice. The pies need sufficient chilling time for perfect firmness.
