Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/4 cup sour cream Substitute full-fat coconut cream for creamier results.
  • to taste Whipped cream for topping Use generously.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottoms of mini muffin tins to form crusts.
  2. Chill the crusts in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Filling
  1. In another bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, lime zest, and sour cream until smooth.
  2. Pour the key lime filling into the chilled crusts, filling them up to the top.
Freezing
  1. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
Serving
  1. Once frozen, remove the mini pies from the muffin tins and top with whipped cream before serving.

Notes

Store the mini pies in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Don’t skip the chilling stage; it helps the crust firm up nicely.
