In this house, I am lucky if they last the next day.  So yes I do hide one, two or maybe three way back in the fridge or the freezer just for ME!   (lol)

This is a dessert that can be made days in advance.   I have made these mini pies for parties and BBQ’s.   And definitely a CROWD PLEASER!  It’s creamy, cool and ever so Delicious!   Plus PRETTY!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz. whipped cream (smooth), part will be used for topping
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 sleeve graham crackers, crushed into crumbs
  • 2/3 cup key lime juice, fresh squeezed

How to prepare

  1.  In a medium bowl add the crushed graham crackers and mix with butter.  Set aside.
  2.  In a large bowl add the cream cheese and cream with a blender under creamy.
  3. Add the condensed milk, key lime juice and mix until smooth.
  4. Fold in the whipped cream into mixture until combined.
  5. Use a silicone cup, fill in with mixture 3/4 of the way, then top with graham crackers. Place on a cookie sheet tray.
  6. Freeze for 3 1/2 hours or until set.
  7. To serve, place upside down.  **note ~ place in warm water for a few seconds to detach from silicone.
  8. Take a storage bag cut bottom corner to pipe whip cream on top of the mini pie. I garnished with a slice of key lime.

These went really fast!  Enjoy!
