Mini No-Bake Key Lime Pie Ingredients
- Graham Cracker Crumbs (1/3 cup): Provides a quick, sturdy, and sweet base that contrasts well with the creamy and tart filling.
- Salted Butter (2 tablespoons, melted): Adds richness and flavor to the pie crust.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk (½ cup): Adds sweetness to the filling and helps the filling set without adding eggs.
- Daisy Sour Cream (½ cup): Adds a rich, tangy flavor to the filling and makes the texture extra creamy.
- Fresh Key Lime Juice (2 ½ tablespoons): Its unique floral, tart flavor and high acid content chemically thicken the sweetened condensed milk to create a smooth custard filling without baking.
- Key Lime Zest (½ teaspoon): Adds a fresh, sharp, citrus contrasting note to the sweetened condensed milk.

Substitutions, Variations, and Tips
- Shortbread cookie crumbs or crushed vanilla wafers may be used in place of graham cracker crumbs.
- Unsalted butter may be used in place of salted butter. Just add a pinch of salt to the crust mixture.
- Bottled key lime juice may be used in place of fresh. Bottled key lime juice is often found either near the bottled lemon juice or in the baking section of grocers.
- Regular limes may be used in place of key limes. Regular limes are milder and less acidic and are widely available in the produce section.
- Chill for several hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
- Garnish with fresh lime zest and whipped topping, if desired.
