Can I use bottled key lime juice?

Another little short cut I take when making Key Lime pie is using bottled Key Lime Juice. I know the real thing is better but sometimes it is hard to find the small key limes in the markets.

Since I am not from Key West I really don’t mind. Even if not truly fresh key lime, this easy key lime pies recipe is sure to please!

Key Lime Pie with What type of crust? 

Some people like to make a key lime pie with a nut crust, while others like a key lime pie with a nut crust.

To begin our easy key lime pies recipe, you will make your graham cracker crust. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pat the crumbs into a muffin paper. Bake for about 8 minutes to allow the crust to set.

This keeps them from being soggy and makes them easier to eat after they are done.

How to make Key Lime Pie Filling?

Make your Key Lime Pie filling and scoop it onto the cooled crust. A unique ingredient in this recipe is NonFat Greek Yogurt. It provides more protein and no fat compared to sour cream.

I love how handy and adaptable it is in recipes, but especially in desserts like this!

Whenever I make things in a cupcake container, I like using an ice cream scoop for perfect proportions. They come in various sizes, so you can test out which works best to give you just enough filling in each mini pie you make.

How to Decorate A Key Lime Pie

Next, you will bake your easy key lime pies recipe. Once you remove from the oven, you will want to cool thoroughly before adding whipped cream or a slice of lime to the top.

Some people even prefer to keep in the freezer until time to serve so they are extra cold.

How to Make a Dessert Table with Individual Key Lime Pies

I think these would be amazing for any party, especially for a dessert buffet. They are so easy to make and pretty to serve!

You could add to a cupcake platter, or on a tiered serving platter alongside other great desserts.

I love bite-sized treats like this for parties since I don’t have to worry about serving! Since they need to be refrigerated they would not be great for a Bake Sale Recipe but dessert for a crowd.
