Frozen Mini Key Lime Pies: Easy and Delicious
A frozen dessert on the patio in the summer is a simple pleasure that our family loves! We love ordering key lime pie in a restaurant and I really wanted to create something similar that we could enjoy at home and would taste equally delicious.If you love frozen desserts too, I know you’ll find my Frozen Mini Key Lime Pies: Easy and Delicious will be your new summer favourite! I’m joining some friends today who are also sharing their tasty frozen desserts too, so be sure to check them all out at the end of the post.
First things first: you’re going to want to make sure you use key limes not regular limes. What’s the difference? Key limes are smaller and slightly yellow in colour. They are more aromatic and have tarter, more floral juice. Trust me, it’s worth the extra work and elbow grease, do not use bottled lime juice either.
A little backstory about these mini crystal dessert cups. My daughter spotted them at HomeSense (HomeGoods) several months ago and encouraged me to get them with the thought of sharing a dessert here with you. Well I’m so glad she did, because they turned out to be a perfect fit for these Mini Frozen Key Lime Pies!
