KEY LIME PIE TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray 12 cups of a nonstick mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
• For the crust: Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the sugar and salt and pulse to combine. With the motor running, drizzle in the butter and process until the mixture resembles damp sand. Divide the mixture evenly among 12 cups of the prepared muffin tin (about 1 1/2 tablespoons for each cup) and use a shot glass or your fingers to press it evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Bake until browned and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Set aside while you prepare the filling. (If the crusts fell during baking, you can reform them while they are still hot with a lightly greased shot glass or the back of a lightly greased small spoon.)
• For the filling: Beat together the yolks and lime zest in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until the yolks have lightened in color and thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Add the condensed milk and lime juice and beat until combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the tartlet crusts in the muffin pan, filling just below the top of each crust. Bake just until the filling has set, about 6 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for about 30 minutes. Remove tarts from the pan (a small offset spatula works well here) and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
• Just before serving, beat the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Dollop the whipped cream on top of the tartlets and sprinkle with the lime zest.

MINI FROZEN KEY LIME PIES

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.

MINI KEY LIME PIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C).
• Make the filling: Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest in a medium bowl until tinted light green, about 2 minutes.

• Make the whipped cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric hand mixer and slowly add the sugar. Once soft peaks form, add the lime zest, then whip until firm peaks form.
• Top the mini pies with whipped cream.
• Enjoy!

MINI KEY LIME PIES WITH CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH CRUST

Steps:

• To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, pulse together the cereal, butter and brown sugar until crumbly. Pack about 1/4 cup of the crust mixture into each of six 5-inch mini pie plates and place on a baking sheet. Bake until the crusts are lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.
• To make the filling: While the crusts bake, whisk together the condensed milk, sour cream, lime zest and lime juice in a bowl. As soon as the crusts come out of the oven, carefully pour in the filling (about 1/2 cup in each) and place them back in the oven. Bake until the filling starts to set, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the pies from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled all the way through, at least 1 hour, though overnight is best.
• To make the whipped cream: Combine the heavy cream, confectioners? sugar, vanilla and lime zest in a bowl and beat with a whisk or an electric mixer until the heavy cream forms soft peaks when the whisk is lifted out of the bowl, about 4 minutes. (Or use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment?this will make things go much faster, so watch it carefully.) Spoon the whipped cream on top of the pies and top with more lime zest.
