Nothing compares to the flavor of fresh key lime pie. This recipe is quite easy to make and tastes great. The benefit of mini pies is that each person can have one.

Way to much condensed milk…. almost 3 cans of condensed milk is way too much…threw away a lot of the batter…..14 oz can of condensed milk is actually measured by weight not volume it’s actually 1 1/4 cup volume or 10 oz volume. Made it better the second time using 2 cups 16oz volume which is about 1 and 3/4 cans.
Very tasty as written (and super easy to make!). Was well received and got lots of compliments. Made my own graham cracker crust and used a mini muffin tin to make perfect bite size “pies”.
Made these for my daughters gender revival party. Everyone loved them. There was not one left Just wondering if any of you have tried this recipe for making a large pie instead of the mini ones? Please let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Good but not traditional key lime pie so if you are looking for a traditional key lime pie recipe, this is not it.
We love this recipe! So easy to make! This is a perfect summer dessert that we will definitely make again!
The key lime pies came out great! But the measurements on the website got all messed up. It went from saying 3 cups of sweetened condensed milk for 12 serving size to 3/4 of a cup when you DOUBLED the recipe… then when I went back to a regular serving (serves 12) it changed to 1/3 and 2 tps of sweetened condensed milk. When I would refresh the page it went back to 3 cups of it again… over all that was very confusing and I ended up doubling the recipe to make 24 mini pies and used 4, 14oz cans of sweetened condensed milk which tasted great! The only other thing was it didn’t make 24 mini pies…. the “doubling the recipe” to make 24 mini pies ended up really making 24 mini pies, and TWO ENTIRE pies. Long story short, the measurements are way off. It makes way too much… but it tastes great! Also I couldn’t find any pre made graham cracker shells so I made my own graham cracker crust and it came out great. 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 6 TBSP butter, & 1/3 cup of sugar. I did use paper cupcake liners and it worked perfect… I saw in another comment to use foil ones if you make your own crust cause the butter soaked the paper but I didn’t experience that at all. I was actually happy that I made my own crust and used the paper cupcake liners because it came out amazing. Definitely will use this recipe again but will be careful with the measurements so I don’t make enough to feed an army and all the neighbors lol. Super delicious though! Definitely recommend making
Loved this recipe!! Followed it exactly, just baked for a few extra minutes until it was set. Had many people tell me this was the best key lime pie they’ve ever had!
I would put 3/4 cup sour cream vs 1 cup, but other then that, A++++ Very easy to make!
Made these for a party big hit. I got 17 tarts out of one batch if I had the 18 all at once I would of squeezed it i. Very good
This was too easy for how good it was. It was perfect. I will definitely make it again.
No changes. They turned out perfectly.
made it last year for a friends wedding because it was his favorite dessert and he told me best he has ever had! For myself it was the first time having key lime pie and it was a great introduction with this recipe!
My Key lime tree is going crazy so l have been squeezing and freezing juice . I needed a quick dessert for a lunch party and found this wonderful recipe. Whipped it up in no time and still had enough time to chill them in time for lunch. Guests loved them!
This turned out great and was super easy. I used lime and it was fine. The sour cream cut down on the tartness. My husband loved it.
Simple, quick and delish!
A+ I’ve made key lime pies for a few years. Wanted to try a new twist… This is it! Perfect combo, smooth, tangy and so tasty. I like the sour cream in place of eggs. My new key lime!
Delish. I tried this recipe for Christmas Eve and then made it again for friends on New Year’s Eve. So easy and scrumptious.
tasty fool proof fast
I made the recipe as directed, other than substituting Key Limes for Rangpur Limes (a mandarin/lemon fruit). I used the Keebler mini-crusts from the grocery store and they turned out FANTASTIC! Even partygoers that do not typically eat dessert had one and ate every bite. My only wish is that I had a larger tree, since this took up almost all of my ripe fruit. Couldn’t recommend this recipe more!
Great taste
I made these for a small group and they were a huge hit and so easy to make. I’d have to give these a 5 star rating.
