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.
