This No-Bake Mini Key Lime Pie recipe offers a refreshing and tangy dessert perfect for warm days or any occasion. Featuring a crisp graham cracker crust filled with a creamy, zesty key lime filling topped with whipped cream and lime garnish, these mini pies are easy to prepare with no baking required.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed or bottled)
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

For Topping:

  • Lime slices or lime zest (for garnish)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated and have a wet sand texture. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of mini pie pans or muffin tins to form an even crust layer, using the back of a spoon or your fingers to pack it down tightly.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest until the mixture is smooth and well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the key lime mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Assemble the Pies: Spoon the key lime filling evenly into each prepared crust, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Cover the mini pies with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the filling is set and chilled.
  4. Serve: Remove the chilled mini pies from the refrigerator. Garnish each with lime slices or zest and optional whipped cream. Serve these delightful mini pies chilled for a refreshing, tangy treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh key lime juice for the best authentic flavor, but bottled juice works well in a pinch.
  • Press the crust firmly to ensure it holds together after chilling.
  • Chilling time is essential for the pies to set properly, so don’t skip or shorten it significantly.
  • To make the pies ahead, assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours in advance; keep covered.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can add a tablespoon of sugar to the filling mixture before folding in whipped cream.
