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 whipping cream but no frozen whip cream. Can I whip that up and use it instead? I’ve had these desserts that a friend made and they are so delicious and I want to try making them too!
http://thissillygirlskitchen.com
Yes! That will work, just whip it to stiff peaks and you’re good to go!

I’ve been waiting yeaaars to make this delicious dessert! But, I have a question, how long can it be out of the refrigerator? Thank youuu!

Hi Sandra, it will start melting pretty quickly. I wouldn’t let them sit out any more than about 10 minutes. Thanks so much, make these already! lol

to help y’all get the cupcake wrappers filled just right. Fill an ice cream scooper half which gets you almost perfectly to 2/3 full

I can’t wait to try these. I have a mini muffin pan I am planning on using. Can you tell mem what the yield is? How many should I expect to get from the recipe?
Thanks

Hi Laurie, I really have no idea. I have never made these into minis. I THINK you would expect to get three minis from one regular size. But, again, just a guess!
