These perfectly portioned sweet and tangy mini desserts feature key lime pie filling that tops a graham cracker crust. Key limes, which you’ll also see labeled as Mexican or West Indian limes, are smaller and more tart than regular Persian limes. Their bolder flavor is worth seeking out to make the rich, creamy filling really sing. To easily make graham cracker crumbs, you can place whole crackers in a zip-top plastic bag and smash them yourself or use your food processor to quickly produce crumbs. You can use a utensil handle to tamp down the graham crackers crust or even your fingers. Just spray them with a little cooking spray to prevent the crumbs from sticking.
