Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C).
- Make the filling: Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest in a medium bowl until tinted light green, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the lime juice and condensed milk, then set aside at room temperature to thicken.
- Make the crust: Crush the graham crackers in a zip-top bag, then mix in the sugar and butter. Divide the crumbs between a 6-cup muffin tin and press down to form crusts.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Pour filling into the crusts, then bake until the center is slightly jiggly, 15-17 minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled, 2-3 hours.
- Make the whipped cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric hand mixer and slowly add the sugar. Once soft peaks form, add the lime zest, then whip until firm peaks form.
- Top the mini pies with whipped cream.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Melt butter and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. With the motor running, drizzle in butter-honey mixture and process until well combined. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl; set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add key lime juice and lemon juice and beat to combine. Beat in 2 Tbsp. key lime zest.
- Using a whisk or electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream in another medium bowl to very soft peaks. Sprinkle powdered sugar over cream and continue to whip until it holds stiff peaks. Gently fold 1/2 cup cream into key lime mixture; cover remaining cream and chill.
- Line muffin pan with paper liners. Pour key lime mixture into a pastry bag or plastic bag with the corner snipped off and pipe batter evenly into tins. Top each with 1 1/2 Tbsp. cracker crumb mixture, breaking up crumbs to completely cover, then press down gently to adhere. Freeze until set, at least 3 hours.
- Remove pies from molds, turn upside down, and remove paper liners. Spread reserved cream over pies and top with remaining 1 Tbsp. key lime zest.
- Do Ahead
- Pies (without topping) can be made 2 weeks ahead; cover and freeze.
FROZEN MINI BLUEBERRY KEY LIME PIES
Unbelievably creamy, refreshing, and possibly even borderline healthy, these vegan tarts are made with cashews, avocado, and loads of lime juice. A pureed blueberry swirl adds even more summery flavor and gorgeous color to boot.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup standard-size muffin tin with paper liners.
- Place graham crackers in a gallon-size zip bag and seal. Using a sturdy glass or a rolling pin, crush until they're crumb consistency. Pour into a medium bowl and add the sugar. Stir to combine. Pour in the melted butter. Stir until combined. Add one heaping tablespoonful to each muffin cup. Using your clean fingers or the bottom of a small glass, press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of the cup.
- Bake crusts for about 4 minutes, until the crust has hardened a bit. Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely. I'm usually impatient and let them sit on the counter for about 5 minutes then off to the freezer for another 5 minutes to finish cooling.
- To the pitcher of a high-speed blender, add cashews, lime zest, lime juice, avocado, coconut cream, and 1/2 cup agave nectar. Puree until completely smooth, 1-2 minutes. Taste and add additional agave nectar until the filling has reached the sweet/tart balance that you prefer.
- Remove 1/2 cup of the filling and set aside.
- Divide remaining filling among the cups and shake a bit to level them.
- Add the 1/2 cup reserved filling back to the blender along with the 3/4 cup blueberries. Puree, scraping the sides if needed, until smooth.
- Pour a bit of the blueberry filling on top of each mini pie. Use a toothpick to swirl the blueberry top over the key lime filling.
- Transfer to freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- To serve, remove tin from freezer and let sit for 10 minutes. Carefully use a butter knife to pry the mini pies out of the tin. Peel off the liner and set on your serving tray or plates. Garnish as desired and serve at once.
