Individual Key Lime Pies

Ingredients

Lime Curd::

1 cup lime juice

2 cups sugar 

2 sticks unsalted butter 

14 eggs 

Crust Layer::

1/3 cup sugar

12 whole graham crackers 

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted 

Topping::

1 1/2 cups whipping cream

1/2 cup powdered sugar 

Lime zest, for garnish 

Directions

For the lime curd: Combine the lime juice, sugar and butter in a medium saucepan and cook on a low flame until the butter melts. Beat the eggs, add to the saucepan and stir until combined. Bring to a simmer. Stir constantly and cook until the mixture is a thick and creamy consistency, 5 to7 minutes. Pass through a mesh strainer. Chill for 2 hours in the fridge.

For the crust: Add the sugar and graham crackers to a food processor. Pour in the melted butter and pulse to combine.

For the topping: Whip the cream with the sugar until stiff.

To assemble, layer the crumb mixture into the bottom of a serving cup, followed by the lime curd. Top with the whipped cream mixture and garnish with lime zest.
