Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups Key lime juice
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Divide the crust mixture evenly among 6 tart pans (approximately 4 inches in diameter). Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each pan.
Place the tart pans on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.
Spoon the filling into the cooled tart crusts, spreading it evenly.
Bake the filled tarts for 10 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Just before serving, top each tart with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of lime zest.
Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade Key Lime Tarts!
