Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pinch kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk

KEY LIME PIE IN A JAR



Key Lime Pie in a Jar image

As if creamy, cool key lime pie wasn't delicious enough in itself - especially during these last hot days of summer - there's just something about individual servings in jars that send it over the top. With each bite, the whipped cream mellows the tart, zesty lime filling, and then you reach that buttery graham cracker layer. So good.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust layer
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (18 crackers, or 2/3 of a sleeve)
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Pinch salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Pie filling
1 - 14- ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons lime zest
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
3 egg yolks
Topping
Whipped cream
Lime wedges for garnish
Also needed
Four half-pint (8-ounce mason jars)
Four canning lids and rings
Baking sheet

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Set jars onto a jelly roll pan or baking sheet.
  • Place graham crackers in a Ziploc bag and smash to crumbs with a rolling pin. Add to a medium bowl along with the sugar and pinch of salt. Stir with a fork until incorporated. Drizzle melted butter into the crumb and sugar mixture; stir with a fork until blended.
  • Spoon graham cracker crumb mixture into each of the four jars, dividing evenly among the jars. Press very slightly into the bottom and up the sides, but don't compact the crumbs like you would a normal graham cracker crumb crust, or the crust will compact too much in the bottom of the jar and won't come up easily with a spoon.
  • Zest one of the limes. Add sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, egg yolks, and lime zest to a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk until all ingredients are well-combined. Dividing the mixture evenly, filling into the jars.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the filling no longer jiggles.
  • Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then cover with lids and bands and refrigerate for at least two hours, until chilled.
  • To serve, top with whipped cream, a lime slice, and tall parfait spoons.
  • Keeps for up to three days in the refrigerator (add whipped cream and garnish right before serving).

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes. Key limes have a more intense flavor than regular limes, which will give your pie a more authentic taste.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become grainy and won't hold its shape.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue with a broiler. Just be careful not to burn it.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the crust to set.

Conclusion:

Key lime pie in a jar is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, tangy lime flavor, and graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
