Instructions
Crust
- First you have to prepare the crust. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Prepare your mini muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside. Our pan has 24 holes.
- In a medium sized bowl combine your graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add melted butter and stir until combined. The mixture should look like wet crumbs.
- Place a spoonful of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup. We use the bottom of a glass spice jar to press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes or until browned around the edges. Allow them to totally cool. Then set aside.
Lime Filling
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer or using a handheld, combine sugar, zest, cream cheese, condensed milk, vanilla and vanilla pudding mix. Blend until smooth.
- Scrape down sides of your bowl as needed. Combine gelatin and ¼ cup of the lime juice in a small bowl. Then heat it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. You might need 10 more seconds in the microwave.
- Add gelatin mixture and remaining lime juice to your large bowl and continue to mix until totally blended.
- Pour filling into a large resealable bag and squeeze mixture towards one of the bottom corners. Cut corner off. Use bag to squeeze mixture on top of each crust.
- Sprinkle lime zest on top of each bite. Refrigerate for a few hours, if not overnight. Keep cool and serve cool. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use Key limes instead of regular limes for that unique tangy flavor of key lime pies.
- Use freshly squeezed juice instead of store-bought lime juice concentrate.
- Chill these mini lime pies for several hours or even overnight so they are set correctly. The filling will firm up and they will be perfectly chilled for serving.
- Transport them onto muffin tins to prevent them from sliding around.
