Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Lime zest for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottoms and up the sides of a mini tart pan. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  • Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and thick. Spoon the filling into the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
  • Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon the whipped cream onto each mini tart.
  • Garnish and Set: Garnish with additional lime zest. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the pies to set.

Notes

  • Ensure the graham cracker crust is firmly pressed to avoid crumbling.
  • Freshly squeezed lime juice gives the best flavor, but bottled key lime juice works in a pinch.
  • Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for best results.
