No Bake Mini Key Lime Pie In A Jar
A delicious way to enjoy the refreshing tart taste of key lime pie without the crust or an oven.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp key lime juice
- 1 tspn key lime zest
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until the texture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream with an electric hand mixer until smooth and thick and the beaters leave a ribbon when lifted out of the bowl, 3-4 minutes. Using a flexible spatula, fold in the key lime juice and ½ teaspoon key lime zest until just combined.
-
Place the jars on a baking sheet. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each jar. Reserve the remaining crumbs. Press down firmly on the crumbs in the jars to form a packed, even layer.
-
Divide the filling evenly between the jars, about ¼ cup per jar. Cover the jars with the lids and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
-
In a medium bowl, whip the remaining ⅓ cup heavy cream and the powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
-
When ready to serve, top each jar with a dollop of whipped cream, the remaining cookie crumbs, and the remaining ½ teaspoon lime zest. Serve immediately.
