Mini Key Lime Pies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add graham crackers to a food processor & pulse until you have the texture of small crumbs. Alternatively, place graham crackers in a plastic bag & use a rolling pin to crush into small crumbs.

Step 2

Melt butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Add melted butter & sugar to the graham crackers & pulse to combine until the texture is like wet sand.

Step 3

Prep a muffin pan with liners. Add about 2 tbsp of the crust mixture to each muffin liner. Press the crust down with your fingers or the bottom of a glass. Bake in the oven for 12-15 min or until golden brown.

Step 4

Separate egg yolks from whites. Save the whites for another recipe or tasty omelet :-)

Step 5

Add room temperature cream cheese to a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip cream cheese for about 1 min.

Step 6

Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing thoroughly in between each addition.

Step 7

Juice fresh limes into a bowl or directly into the mixture. Add sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese mixture for 1 min. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is combined.

Step 8

Remove crusts from the oven. Add about 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture to each muffin cup. Bake for 18-20 min or until the pies are set. Remove from the oven & let cool completely.

Step 9

Chill pies in the fridge for 30 min. Serve with whipped cream, lime zest & enjoy!
