Since visiting The Keys on our cruise, I have been CRAVING key lime pie. Since being home I have been searching for a good recipe that would cure my craving for it. Since I like things in mini individual sizes, I thought that I would create them just like my mini cheesecakes. I was shocked at how delicious and close these tasted to the key lime pie in Florida. They were amazing! They were perfectly moist and had the perfect amount of lime in them. I took them over to my parents for dinner and they couldn’t even wait to eat them. My hubby isn’t even a huge fan of key lime pie and loved it! It was so fun being able to remember all of the fun memories we made in the Keys with one delicious bite!
Rating: 4 stars Difficulty of Recipe: 3 stars
Review: Loved everything about this recipe and it is surprisingly easy. The only thing that I would change is the graham cracker and better ratio. I misread the original recipe and put in 3/4 cup butter instead of 3/4 stick of butter! Oops! Although still amazing I will definitely be reducing the amount next time I make them! 🙂

Mini Key Lime Pie
Ingredients
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs, crushed (about 12 squares)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 3 large egg whites, beaten
- 2 (14-ounce) cans of sweetened condensed milk
- ¾ cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- ⅓ cup non-fat Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
- Pulse the graham cracker squares in a food processor. Alternatively, you can place the crackers in a gallon-size Ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Place the crushed graham cracker crumbs into a medium bowl. Add the sugar and melted butter and mix until combined.
- Press 1 tablespoon graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a cupcake liner. Place the cupcake pan into the freezer to help the crust set up while you mix the pie filling.
- In a separate bowl, add egg whites, condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, and yogurt. Using an electric hand mixer, mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the cupcakes about ¾ of the way full with the pie filling. Bake for 12-15 minutes and cool completely. Refrigerate until ready to serve!
- Top with whipped cream and garnish with a lime slice, if desired. Store in the refrigerator.

Key Lime Pie~ Yum! Stopping by from Time to Sparkle Tuesday! Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines now following on GFC~
Those look amazing! Now if I could only find a non-dairy sweetened condensed milk, I would be a happy camper 🙂
Hey, I just checked the original recipe that you linked to, and it calls for 3/4 stick of butter, not 3/4 cup! That would make it 6 T or just over 1/3 cup. 🙂 I just thought you’d like to know! These look great- I’m going to make them today!
OH. MY. WORD. These look delicious! Definitely going on my Sunday dinner menu! New follower stopping by and love your blog. I’m also friends with Jeni from Bakerette.com. Isn’t she a cutie? Deb @ madefrompinterest.net
Alyssa… these amazing! I’d love to have you come and share them at Super Saturday Show & Tell today 🙂 http://www.whatscookingwithruthie.com xoxo~ Ruthie
These sound delicious! Love how tiny they are!
Hi, How many pies does this recipe make?
Hi Erin! I was able to make 12 but I had some left over. So I would say between 12-16 pies! 🙂
The crust was perfect for 12, but like Alyssa said, there was definitely leftover filling.
How cute are these little pies? They look AMAZING. I can’t wait to visit the Keys one day so I can try their authentic pie, but until then, this will do the trick 🙂
This looks delicious Alyssa and I love the built in portion control 🙂
These Key Lime pies sound wonderful!
That does sound like quite a bit of butter. I am always surprised at how little butter you really need in crusts. We have been to the Keys twice and have been to that key lime shop both times. Love it!!!
I love key lime pie and can’t wait to make these!!!!
