Made with a crunchy graham cracker crust, zesty lime filling, and fluffy whipped topping, these mini pies are ideal for hot days and gatherings, offering a cool, citrusy treat without the need for baking.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 mini pies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Optional: fresh lime slices and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until evenly coated. Press into cupcake liners or ramekins to form the crusts. Chill for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth. Pour over chilled crusts and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
  3. In a cold bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe over the set lime filling. Garnish with lime slices and mint leaves.

Notes

  • Prepare the crust and filling a day ahead for convenience. Assemble whipped topping just before serving for best freshness.
  • You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits or gluten-free cookies.
  • Ensure the pies are thoroughly chilled for at least 2 hours to achieve perfect setting.
