Ingredients

  • 14.1 oz Pillsbury refrigerated mini pie crusts room temperature
  • 3 oz lime gelatin package
  • ½ cup water divided
  • 8 oz whipped topping thawed but cold
  • Fresh key lime zest

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Unroll the pie crusts and gently break them apart at the perforations.
  3. Set one pie crust into each of the 12-cup muffin pan cavities, and press to the bottom and sides. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork. Discard the remaining two pie crusts.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until crusts are golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 1 hour. Remove the shells from the muffin tins and place them on a tray. 
  5. While the pie crusts are baking, make the tart filling.  Boil ¼ cup of water in a saucepan over high heat. Pour the hot water into a medium bowl. Add the gelatin and stir with a whisk until dissolved. Add the remaining ¼ cup of water and stir for 2 minutes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  6. Stir in the whipped topping. Refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes.
  7. Zest the lime.
  8. Add the gelatin mixture to a piping bag fitted with the 1M frosting tip. Gently squeeze the mixture into pie crusts. Sprinkle with lime zest.
  9. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve mini key lime pie bites and enjoy!

Notes

  • It is best to refrigerate the filling for at least an hour before adding to the pie crusts.
