Mini Classic Key Lime Pies #SundaySupper #BucketList

Ahhh….to be basking in the sun and snorkeling in the Florida Keys. Who am I kidding? The holidays just ended and it will be a while before I will be taking any vacation, but all is far from lost. I am kicking-off the new year with the #SundaySupper and the first roundup for this week is all about trying something new. Something that’s been on your bucket list of recipes, but you have yet to tackle.

I have never had the nerve to make pies with the labor of the crust and all that’s involved, but decided a graham cracker crust is something I could handle. The mini pie crusts are even easier since I took these little beauties right out of the package {GASP} to create my Mini Classic Key Lime Pies.

Hopefully, y’all are over the fact that I used premade mini crusts and we can move still be friends.  I included the recipe to make a homemade graham cracker crust for you, I just didn’t want to tackle running all over looking for mini pie tins.  If anyone does happen to know where to find mini pie tins, feel free to comment and let me know, so I can buy them for next time.

These little pies packed a huge flavor punch!  The key lime filling of the pie was delicioulsy tart but sweet and creamy at the same time.  It took me back to the many vacations in the Florida Keys.  I couldn’t end a vacation without having a few conch fritters or fresh key lime pie.  You can find the recipe I used HERE if making a classic key lime pie is on your bucket list, this is a super easy one for beginners.
