Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. Bottled or jarred lime juice will not give you the same results.

  • Chill the pies for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
  • If you don't have a mini tart pan, you can use a regular tart pan and cut the pies into wedges after they are baked.
  • These pies are also delicious served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

These mini key lime and coconut pies are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They are easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these pies a try.
