Inactive Time: 4 hours<\/p>\n

Makes 12 mini pies<\/p>\n

Sweet and tart, cool and refreshing, with a texture like soft ice cream, these mini frozen key lime pies are perfect for summer entertaining. We love that they can be made in advance, so you can focus on being the fabulous host you are. The single-serving size is convenient as well. You won\u2019t have to split a dose . . . which means you won\u2019t have to share your personal pie (you\u2019re welcome).<\/p>\n

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00bd cup plus 1 Tbsp | 65 g graham cracker crumbs (from 4 to 5 whole graham crackers)<\/p>\n

\u00bc cup | 50 g sugar<\/p>\n

6 Tbsp | 85 g unsalted butter, melted<\/p>\n

2 tsp | 9 g canna-butter<\/a>, melted<\/p>\n

KEY LIME FILLING<\/strong><\/h4>\n

7 medium limes<\/p>\n

6 large egg yolks | 120 g, at room temperature<\/p>\n

\u00bc cup | 50 g sugar<\/p>\n

One 14-oz | 400-g can sweetened condensed milk<\/p>\n

WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING<\/strong><\/h4>\n

1 pt | 460 g heavy cream, cold<\/p>\n

2 Tbsp powdered sugar<\/p>\n

1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n

12-cup muffin pan<\/p>\n

Shot glass<\/p>\n

Pastry bag and star tip (optional)<\/p>\n

MAKE-AHEAD TIP<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The pies can be made up to three days in advance. Prepare them up to the whipped cream step, cover the muffin tin tightly with plastic wrap, and keep frozen until ready to serve.<\/p>\n

TO MAKE THE GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F [180\u00b0C]. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners and set aside.<\/p>\n

In a food processor, blitz together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar until combined. Add the butter and canna-butterand process until evenly distributed. Fill each cup with an equal amount of the graham crust mixture, about 2 Tbsp plus 1 tsp [17 g]. For the most accurate dosage, weigh the total amount of the crust mixture and divide by twelve to determine the target weight per serving. Press the crumbs down using the bottom of a shot glass to create an even bottom crust. Don\u2019t worry about getting the crust up the sides. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and cool completely.<\/p>\n

TO MAKE THE KEY LIME FILLING<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n

While the crusts cool, zest and juice 6 of the limes. You will need 2 Tbsp packed lime zest and \u00be cup [175 g] lime juice. Reserve any extra zest for garnishing.<\/p>\n

Fill a medium saucepan with 1 to 2 in [3 to 5 cm] of water and bring it to barely a simmer over medium-high heat. Adjust the heat to low.<\/p>\n

In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks, lime juice, and sugar until combined. Set the bowl over the saucepan (the bottom of the bowl shouldn\u2019t touch the surface of the water), and cook for about 5 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture is frothy and puddinglike.<\/p>\n

Remove the bowl from the heat. Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and lime zest until well combined. Divide the filling equally among the 12 cups, about 1\/3 cup of filling per portion.<\/p>\n

Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.<\/p>\n

WHEN READY TO SERVE, MAKE THE WHIPPED CREAM:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In a large bowl, combine the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat for about 1 minute on high speed until medium to stiff peaks form. Alternatively, you can whisk by hand (earn that whipped cream!) or use a stand mixer. Dollop the cream on top of each pie, or, if you\u2019re feeling fancy, transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe decoratively.<\/p>\n

Cut the remaining lime into thin slices and garnish the pies, along with any extra lime zest. Enjoy immediately.<\/p>\n
