Key Lime Pie Tarts
By Grimesmj
I used four 4.75" tart pans. They taste exactly the same as a real key lime pie, but it's in individual snack size!
- 4
Ingredients
- For Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups of graham cracker crumbs (approximately 9 cracker sheets)
- 2 Tbs sugoar
- 5 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
- For Filling:
- 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup of Key Lime Juice
- For Topping:
- 3/4 cup chilled heavy cream
- 2 Tbs powdered sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375F.
Stir graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter together until well combined. Press mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of each tartlet pan. Bake crust for 10 minutes and allow to cool on a rack. Leave oven on.
To make filling, whisk together condensed milk and yolks until well combined. Add in the lime juice and whisk all together. Pour filling into each tart crust, and bake for 15 minutes. Cool the pie completely, and refrigerate.
Before serving, whisk the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add in powdered sugar and whisk until well combined. Serve on top of each key lime tart.
My parents also do not own a stand mixer, I made the whip cream with my hands and a whisk. My hand got super tired when I started to see the stiff peaks. If you own a stand mixer, please use it. Unless whisking by hand is your domain. =]
I fill the crusts with the filling mixture:
The finished key lime pie tarts with hand whipped whip cream. The parents also don't have piping bags, I piped it by making a piping bag with parchment paper.
