- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

- 1/2 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions
- Preparation: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until every crumb looks glossy and the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottoms and up the sides of mini tart pans. Chill the crusts in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.
- Pour the lime filling into the chilled crusts, smooth the tops with a spatula, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
- Garnish each mini pie with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh key lime juice.
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for better results.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the whipped cream to your liking.
