Mini Key Lime Pies

recipe

• 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!
