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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Spoon the filling into the cooled tart crusts, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Bake the filled tarts for 10 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Just before serving, top each tart with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of lime zest.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade Key Lime Tarts!
