Upside Down No Bake Mini Key Lime Pies

One of my favorite no-bake desserts ever. They are adorably served upside down, stunningly easy to make, and utterly delicious. Simple and totally homemade!

Ingredients

  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest
  • 1/3 cup key lime juice
  • 2 full sheet graham crackers
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • whipped cream, extra lime zest or slices, more graham crackers, etc. optional toppings

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream until well combined. Add lime juice and zest. Whisk again until the mixture is even and thick, about 1 minute.
  • Divide the lime mixture among individual serving cups or place in a large baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • When the filling has set, make the “crust.” Crush the graham crackers into fine bits, either by hand, with a rolling pin, or with a food processor. Stir in melted butter and sugar; mix well.
  • Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs on top of each dish, or over the baking dish if you made it all together. Top as desired with whipped cream, lime zest or slices, etc. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate again for up to 2 days. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This yields 6 medium-sized individual desserts. You can easily divide it among larger or smaller dishes to get the right number of servings for you - it's fairly sweet and rich, so don't feel you need massive portions to satisfy.
  • These are the custard cups shown in this post. I love them!
