Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (from about 8 crackers)
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons finely grated key lime zest, divided
1/3 cup fresh key lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup chilled heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Special Equipment
A standard 12-cup muffin pan

Steps:

  • Melt butter and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. With the motor running, drizzle in butter-honey mixture and process until well combined. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add key lime juice and lemon juice and beat to combine. Beat in 2 Tbsp. key lime zest.
  • Using a whisk or electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream in another medium bowl to very soft peaks. Sprinkle powdered sugar over cream and continue to whip until it holds stiff peaks. Gently fold 1/2 cup cream into key lime mixture; cover remaining cream and chill.
  • Line muffin pan with paper liners. Pour key lime mixture into a pastry bag or plastic bag with the corner snipped off and pipe batter evenly into tins. Top each with 1 1/2 Tbsp. cracker crumb mixture, breaking up crumbs to completely cover, then press down gently to adhere. Freeze until set, at least 3 hours.
  • Remove pies from molds, turn upside down, and remove paper liners. Spread reserved cream over pies and top with remaining 1 Tbsp. key lime zest.
  • Do Ahead
  • Pies (without topping) can be made 2 weeks ahead; cover and freeze.

Time 2h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 squares)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Place foil muffin liner in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups. Spray liners with cooking spray.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh key limes. If you can't find key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before you cut it into the flour. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the crust until it is golden brown. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked through.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help to set the filling.

Conclusion:

This key lime pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy filling is perfectly balanced by the tangy key lime flavor, and the graham cracker crust adds a delicious crunch. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
