CRUNCHY KEY LIME PIE BITES ON ICE CREAM
Imagine Key lime pie bars, but with opposite proportions of salty graham cracker crust and tangy lime custard. Serve this dessert on your favorite ice cream.

Steps:
- To make the Key lime pie bites: Get your oven to 350°F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and kosher salt and mix it with your hands until it's all like wet sand.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper so the paper hangs over the sides by an inch or two. Put the graham sand in there and give it a firm press onto the bottom so you have an even packed layer that's a smidge more than an inch. Bake, rotating the pan once, until the edges start to darken a shade but the center isn't quite done, 12 to 15 minutes.
- While you're waiting, whisk together the condensed milk, Key lime juice, and egg yolks so they're well mixed. When the crust is done, pour on the lime mixture, give the pan a couple of taps on the counter so the lime stuff settles evenly, then bake again until the lime mixture is just barely set in the center, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Let this bad boy come to room temperature, then pop it in the fridge until it's cold and it's good to go. It keeps, covered, in the fridge for a week or the freezer for two.
- To serve: Run a knife along the edges of the pan, then use the parchment paper to lift out and cut the bars into roughly 1-inch crunchy Key lime pie babies. Scoop the ice cream into bowls (or just leave in the carton), top with the Key lime pie bites, and garnish with a pinch of flaky salt. Eat.
Tips:
- Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
- Make sure the butter is very cold before you grate it. This will help to keep the crust flaky.
- Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
- Bake the pies until the filling is just set. Overbaking will make the filling dry and crumbly.
- Let the pies cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set properly.
Conclusion:
These mini key lime pies are the perfect summer dessert. They're easy to make, delicious, and refreshing. They're also a great way to use up any extra key limes you have on hand. So next time you're looking for a sweet and tangy treat, give these mini key lime pies a try. You won't be disappointed.
