Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 395 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 120 ml key lime juice (freshly squeezed or bottled)
- 1 tablespoon key lime zest
- 3 egg yolks
- 120 ml whipping cream (optional, for garnish)
- 10 grams powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon lime slices or zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly into a 6-cup muffin tin or tartlet pans. Press the mixture firmly into the bottoms and up the sides to form crusts.
Bake the crusts for 6-7 minutes until lightly golden, then remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, key lime zest, and egg yolks until fully combined and smooth.
Spoon the lime filling evenly into the cooled tartlet crusts, leaving just a small space at the top.
Bake the tartlets in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove and let them cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
For garnish, whip the whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Pipe or dollop the cream onto the tartlets.
Add a slice of lime, a sprinkle of zest, or both on top of each tartlet for a decorative finish.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
