Tiny Key lime pies that steal the show at any cocktail party!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 squares)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime peel
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 12 regular-size muffin cups with foil liners and lightly coat them with cooking spray.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Divide mixture evenly among cups and press it down using the bottom of a glass. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until firm, then remove from the oven. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth. Add lime juice and 1 teaspoon of lime peel, then divide the mixture among cups. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until set. Allow to cool completely in the muffin pan on a rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours but no more than 12 hours before serving.
  • When ready to serve, use an electric mixer to beat whipping cream in a medium bowl for 45 to 90 seconds until soft peaks form. Then add powdered sugar and the remaining 2 teaspoons of lime peel, and beat for 30 to 60 seconds until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream mixture over the pies.
