Description
These individual mini key lime pies topped with fresh blackberries offer a refreshing citrusy dessert with the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Their creamy filling sits on a crunchy graham cracker crust, making for the ultimate bite-sized treat.
Ingredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Zest of 2 limes
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh blackberries for topping
Lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of mini tart pans or a muffin tin to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
- Spoon the key lime filling into the cooled crusts, filling them almost to the top.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the filling is set.
- Allow the pies to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
- Before serving, top each mini pie with fresh blackberries and garnish with lime slices.
Notes
- Ensure the lime juice is freshly squeezed for the best flavor.
- These pies can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
- Use silicone muffin tins for easy removal of the pies.
