Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. This creates a tremendous aroma that invites you to indulge in the process of making these pies.
-
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottoms of mini pie pans or muffin tins. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to form even crusts. This step is crucial, as a sturdy base will support the creamy filling.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Ensure you whisk long enough for a tremendous blend of flavors, which will impart a refreshing zest to the filling.
