Serve cold, straight from the fridge for the best texture and flavor.
Make ahead up to 2 days in advance and keep refrigerated (covered or with lids).
Avoid freezing, as the texture may change upon thawing.
Best served in 4–6 oz jars for perfect individual portions.
Variations:
Coconut twist: Add 2 tablespoons shredded coconut to the crust or sprinkle on top.
Lemon version: Swap the lime juice and zest for lemon for a bright lemon pie jar.
No-bake shortcut: Skip the baking step and chill the assembled jars for 4+ hours until set (for a looser, mousse-like texture).
Vegan version: Use coconut condensed milk and dairy-free sour cream and whipped topping.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use bottled lime juice?
A: Yes, though fresh key lime or regular lime juice offers the best flavor, bottled lime juice is a convenient alternative.
Q: What if I don’t have jars?
A: You can use ramekins, small dessert glasses, or even cupcake liners in a muffin tin for easy portioning.
Q: Do I need to bake these in a water bath?
A: It’s optional but helps to gently set the filling and avoid overcooking. If skipping it, keep a close eye on the baking time.
