Total Time 4 hours 25 minutes
Servings10 servings

Ingredients

  • 10 mini graham cracker crusts or 1 8-serving 9" graham cracker crust
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup lime juice  freshly squeezed
  • sweetened whipped cream for serving see notes

Instructions

Tarts

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • In a medium bowl, combine egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and lime juice. Distribute evenly among graham cracker crusts (I used my cookie scoop to make sure things were equal).
  • Place tart pans on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven 10-11 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then chill in fridge until ready to serve (4+ hours).
  • Before serving, add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.

Whole Pie

  • To bake this as a single large pie, just use a standard 9″ graham cracker pie crust and bake for 15 minutes. Chill in fridge until ready to serve (4+ hours). Top each slice with whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • Store cooled pies, tightly covered, in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-5 days for best results.
  • If you plan on making these ahead of time, use stabilized whipped cream–regular whipped cream will not last more than a few hours before it starts to deflate.
  • To make sweetened whipped cream: Combine 1 cup whipping cream with 1/3 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl. Whip until soft peaks form. Top your pies and serve immediately.
