Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup sugar
• 3 Tbs key lime juice (I used real key limes)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ container cool whip or Redi Whip
• sliced key limes + extra cracker crumbs to garnish (optional)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325 F
• Spray a 24 count mini muffin tin thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray
• In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter and stir
• Scoop a small spoonful of crumbs into each muffin tin, pressing down until firm with your fingers
• Bake for 8-9 minutes
• In a separate bow, beat cream cheese, egg, sugar, key lime juice + zest and vanilla with a mixer until well combined
• Fill the remainder of the muffin tins with cream cheese mixture and bake for 20-23 minutes
• Remove from oven and carefully run a butter knife around the edges of each pie so that they do not stick
• Remove from muffin tin and allow to cool
• Top each key lime pie with cool whip, graham cracker crumbs and a lime slice and serve chilled
• Enjoy!
