Our Test Kitchen created this refreshing mini pie with a homemade crumb crust and a pudding-like lime filling. If you can’t find key lime juice, regular lime juice works just fine.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • FILLING:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 7-in. pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt; gradually stir in water and food coloring if desired. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in lime juice, butter and lime peel.
