Key Lime Pie Shots
Description
This recipe creates miniature key lime pies served in shooter glasses for individual portions. Cream cheese is combined with sweetened condensed milk until smooth, then lime juice and zest add bright acidity. The mixture chills for at least two hours to set properly.
The shots are assembled by layering the lime-flavored filling and pulsed graham cracker crumbs, which provide a crumbly base reminiscent of a pie crust. A dollop of whipped cream and extra lime zest finish the presentation and enhance flavor contrast.
These shots balance creamy sweetness with citrus tartness and have a smooth texture set by refrigeration. They can be made ahead and refrigerated up to six hours before serving. Whipped cream is recommended to be added just before serving to maintain its texture.
Designed to serve around 20 shooters, this dessert provides a playful, portable alternative to traditional key lime pie slices.
