Mini Key Lime Pie



One of my all time favorite desserts is Key lime pie, I always have one every time I go to Florida :-), I recently made peppermint creams with Jasmine mainly as she loves using cookie cutters and coloring them, they were hardly eaten but had fun making them. I looked on the side of the condensed milk and saw a recipe for key lime pie, so easy. I just had to make a couple of mini ones, I used digestive biscuits (British cookies) for the base and garnished with some peel.



Ingredients:

  • 4 digestive biscuits crushed
  • 2 tablespoon of butter
  • about 2/3 of a can of condensed milk
  • juice of one lime and some peel for garnish 
Method:
  1. crush the biscuits mix with melted butter, line a couple of ramekins 
  2. and bake for 5 minutes at 350
  3. meanwhile mix lime juice with condensed milk 
  4. add lime mixture to ramekins and put in fridge over night 
  5. enjoy the next day
This would be fun to make ahead for a dinner party :-)



Is there a food you have to have when you visit a particular place?

Have a wonderful weekend everyone
