- 4 ounces Unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cups Key lime juice
- 8 ounces Whipped topping
Instructions
- Prepare the crust mixture: Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl until the crumbs are fully coated and evenly moistened.
- Beat the cream cheese: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy to form a luscious base.
- Add sweetened condensed milk: Gently mix in the sweetened condensed milk with the cream cheese, ensuring the mixture is well incorporated without overmixing.
- Incorporate key lime juice: Blend in the key lime juice until the filling is smooth and blended thoroughly, bringing out the signature tangy flavor.
- Fold in whipped topping: Carefully fold the whipped topping into the lime mixture using a spatula, preserving its lightness and airiness.
- Fill silicone cups: Spoon the key lime pie filling into individual silicone cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way full.
- Add crust topping: Sprinkle the prepared graham cracker crumb mixture generously on top of the filling in each cup to add a sweet crunch.
- Freeze to set: Place the cups on a sheet tray and freeze for approximately 4 hours, or until the pies are completely set and firm.
- Unmold and serve: Carefully remove the frozen mini pies from the silicone molds, placing them graham cracker side down on serving plates.
- Garnish: Optionally, garnish each pie with extra whipped topping or fresh key lime slices for added presentation and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh key lime juice to achieve an authentic tangy flavor.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing for a smoother filling texture.
- These mini pies must be kept frozen until served to maintain their shape and consistency.
- Silicone cups or molds work best for easy unmolding of the individual pies.
- Adjust sweetness by altering the amount of sweetened condensed milk slightly according to preference.
- Can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the freezer for up to 3 days.
