Key Lime Pie
Jeremy is a key lime pie freak.
It’s no secret that my greatest joy is making dishes that my honey absolutely loves. I’m sure I have, on many occasions, listed out his favorite things.
On the top of that list is key lime pie.
Oh yeah, he loves that tartness with a hint of sweet and silky smooth filling. I have made a key lime eclair cake and he loved it!
I took the flavors of key lime pie and turned it into these adorable individual frozen key lime pies, and guess what?! They taste shockingly close to the original! But, more refreshing being ice cold, YUM!
The perfect summer dessert. Although, I have been known to make them year round!
Key Lime Pie already!

What is key lime pie made of?
Did I mention these are easy?
Yes, shockingly so. No bake. Crumble up some graham crackers, mix some cream cheese, whipped topping, key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and BAM. Perfection.
(AND, btw… this is pretty much the exact same dessert as last week with these Strawberry Icebox Bars except I changed the crust and filling flavor… so sue me!)
I’ve been loving a more “mini” dessert lately… especially for something like this. Can you imagine presenting these easy mini key lime pie on a big platter at your next cookout, or a plated for a dinner party?
Totally impressive, gorgeous, delicious and you’ll be getting asked for the recipe ASAP, I guarantee it!
I’m actually eating one of these now while writing this post… jealous?? LOL, but seriously they are so cute and tiny, you can easily have two like Jeremy does but I like just one, it’s a perfect little treat for that late night sweet tooth craving!
The filling texture is super smooth, so close to ice cream!

How to make key lime pie no bake:
Individual Frozen Key Lime Pies
Ingredients
- ¾ Cup key lime juice fresh squeezed (about a pound of key limes or good bottled key lime juice)
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz whipped topping plus more for garnish
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ stick butter unsalted, melted
- 1 sleeve honey graham crackers turned into crumbs, about 1 1/2 cups crumbs
Instructions
- Crush graham crackers and mix with the butter, set aside.
- Cream the cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer, add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth. Add the key lime juice and mix until smooth.
- Let the whipped topping defrost and add to the cream cheese mixture, folding it in until combined.
- Taking individual silicone cups (I use silicone cupcake liners) fill with the cream cheese mixture about ¾ of the way up. Top with the graham cracker crumbs. Place on a platter or sheet tray and place in freezer for 4 hours or until set. Unmold pies carefully and serve graham cracker side down. The easiest way to do this is to submerge the bottom half of the mold into warm water for a few seconds.
- Serve with whipped topping garnish and key lime slice if desired, enjoy!

I have a similar recipe that everyone loves called “Lemonade Pie” that is made in a pre-made Keebler graham cracker crust. No cream cheese though and you use a 1/2 can of frozen lemonade concentrate instead of the key lime juice, which is way easier than buying and squeezing a bunch of key limes. I am going to try making my Lemonade pie using this method of individual ones in silicone baking cups, great idea!
Sarah Gupta says
Great recipe. I really enjoyed making and eating it (as did my husband)! Will try with other fruits (lemons, strawberries, raspberries, etc.).
Jacki says
Will this recipe work with paper cupcake liners
Hejin says
Made It for my family and it was a big hit. I mixed roasted almonds in with the gram crackers and it took it to another level. And I whipped up my own whipped cream and barely added any sugar to it so it helped with it not being to sweet. Thank you for the recipe.
Val says
Could I make this in a pie dish instead of individual cups? Thanks!!
Dana DeVolk says
Yes!
Laurie Ann Cox says
I’ve made this numerous times, my dad loves them in the summer. I make a ton of them, put them in a container and he keeps them in the freezer so he can grab one any time he wants to cool off! Without the whipped topping on top of course!
Dawn Marie says
Just made these tonight. They are currently in freezer. I’m so excited to try them.
Can I keep them in freezer like in a zip bag? Will they hold up in fridge at all?
Dana DeVolk says
Yes, you can keep them in the freezer. I’m not sure if they hold up in the fridge, I have only ever kept them in the freezer.
Pmacke says
Simple to make and oh, so delicious! They melt in your mouth. 😍
Christine says
What is an alternative to silicone liners? Can you just use a cupcake pan? Does it need to be sprayed? Or can paper liners be used? Thanks!
Amanda says
I made these using paper liners. They peeled off much easier than I expected and worked well. This recipe was great. I used a 300ml can of sweetened condensed milk since that’s what I could find and it was still fine. Easy to make, a hit with my guests. Very tasty. Highly recommend. Thank you!!
