📝 Recipe Notes & Tips
  • Real Key Limes: They are smaller and more acidic than Persian limes; use them for the best flavor!
  • Crust Setting: Don't skip the 20-minute chill for the crust, or it might crumble when you add the filling.
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. These last up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh? Yes, you can! However, for that authentic "Key West" taste, fresh juice is always superior. Look for Nellie & Joe's Bottled Key Lime Juice if you can't find fresh limes. 2. Why didn't my filling set properly? Make sure you whipped the cream to stiff peaks before folding it in. Also, ensure the pies chill for the full 3 hours. The acid in the lime juice reacts with the milk to help thicken it naturally. 3. Can I freeze these mini pies? Absolutely! These make excellent frozen treats. Just thaw them for 10-15 minutes on the counter before eating for the perfect creamy texture.
