Lemon Lime Citrus Pie...and by Pie I mean Mason Jar!

What’s better than a pie, a cute little individual mason jar full of pie just for you! This is similar to a key lime pie, but I don’t have key limes, and unfortunately I am not in Florida so walking out into my backyard citrus farm just isn’t an option. These little beauties are perfect for making yourself feel fancy and like you are at a restaurant serving the most delicious desserts!

Perfect size for snacking!

Lemon Lime Citrus Pie Mason Jars

Yield: 6 x 1/2 cup mason jars (a Ramekin would also be great for this!)

Preheat your oven to 350*F

Base:

  • 1/3 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs

  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

  • 1.5 Tablespoon Butter, melted

Filling:

  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk

  • 1/2 cup Citrus Juice - I used 1/2 lemon and 1/2 lime

  • Zest of 1 lemon or lime or whatever you got!

  • 3 Egg Yolks

  • pinch of Salt

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup Whipped Cream

  • 1-2 Tablespoons Sugar

  1. In a bowl combine all your base ingredients - graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. Mix to combine, then evenly portion into the 6 mason jars.

  2. Using your fingers press the graham crackers down to compact them into a firm base and set to the side.

  3. In a new bowl mix together all of your filling ingredients - condensed milk, citrus juice, zest, yolks and salt. Once combined evenly pour into your mason jars.

  4. Place filled mason jars onto a clean baking tray and bake in a preheated 350*F oven for 8-10 minutes or until they have a firm jiggle.

  5. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  6. While your mason jars are chilling, whip up your whipping cream and sugar until firm peaks.

  7. Dollop a nice pile of whipped cream on top of your chilled mason jar pie and devour!

This tangy pie can be made with whatever citrus you have on hand! I made them into little mason jars for an extra cuteness factor, but you can make them in r...
