Mini Frozen Key Lime Pies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl. Press into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure the sides and the bottom are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• For the filling, beat the egg yolks and sugar on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment for 5 minutes, until thick. With the mixer on medium speed, add the condensed milk, lime zest, and lime juice. Pour into the baked pie shell and freeze.
• For the decoration, beat the heavy cream on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until firm. Spoon or pipe decoratively onto the pie and decorate with lime. Freeze for several hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Melt butter and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. With the motor running, drizzle in butter-honey mixture and process until well combined. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add key lime juice and lemon juice and beat to combine. Beat in 2 Tbsp. key lime zest.
• Using a whisk or electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream in another medium bowl to very soft peaks. Sprinkle powdered sugar over cream and continue to whip until it holds stiff peaks. Gently fold 1/2 cup cream into key lime mixture; cover remaining cream and chill.
• Line muffin pan with paper liners. Pour key lime mixture into a pastry bag or plastic bag with the corner snipped off and pipe batter evenly into tins. Top each with 1 1/2 Tbsp. cracker crumb mixture, breaking up crumbs to completely cover, then press down gently to adhere. Freeze until set, at least 3 hours.
• Remove pies from molds, turn upside down, and remove paper liners. Spread reserved cream over pies and top with remaining 1 Tbsp. key lime zest.
• Do Ahead
• Pies (without topping) can be made 2 weeks ahead; cover and freeze.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place mini graham cracker crusts onto a baking sheet.
• In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, Key lime juice, and Key lime zest until smooth. Pour the filling into the graham cracker crusts, filling to the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot, 5 to 8 minutes. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour. To serve, garnish each mini pie with a Key lime slice and a dollop of whipped cream topping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup standard-size muffin tin with paper liners.
• Place graham crackers in a gallon-size zip bag and seal. Using a sturdy glass or a rolling pin, crush until they're crumb consistency. Pour into a medium bowl and add the sugar. Stir to combine. Pour in the melted butter. Stir until combined. Add one heaping tablespoonful to each muffin cup. Using your clean fingers or the bottom of a small glass, press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of the cup.
• Bake crusts for about 4 minutes, until the crust has hardened a bit. Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely. I'm usually impatient and let them sit on the counter for about 5 minutes then off to the freezer for another 5 minutes to finish cooling.
• To the pitcher of a high-speed blender, add cashews, lime zest, lime juice, avocado, coconut cream, and 1/2 cup agave nectar. Puree until completely smooth, 1-2 minutes. Taste and add additional agave nectar until the filling has reached the sweet/tart balance that you prefer.
• Remove 1/2 cup of the filling and set aside.
• Divide remaining filling among the cups and shake a bit to level them.
• Add the 1/2 cup reserved filling back to the blender along with the 3/4 cup blueberries. Puree, scraping the sides if needed, until smooth.
• Pour a bit of the blueberry filling on top of each mini pie. Use a toothpick to swirl the blueberry top over the key lime filling.
• Transfer to freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
• To serve, remove tin from freezer and let sit for 10 minutes. Carefully use a butter knife to pry the mini pies out of the tin. Peel off the liner and set on your serving tray or plates. Garnish as desired and serve at once.
