Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 1 cup key lime juice Freshly squeezed for the best flavor.
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor.
For the crust
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs Can substitute with crushed cookies.
For the chocolate coating
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Choose semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil Helps the chocolate melt smoothly.
Optional
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter Can substitute for coconut oil.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter or coconut oil. Press into the bottom of a silicone mini muffin pan to form the crust.
  3. Pour key lime filling into the crusts, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Freezing
  1. Place the muffin pan in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until completely firm.
Coating
  1. In a microwave-safe dish, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Remove the key lime bites from the muffin pan and dip each in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Final Freeze
  1. Return the chocolate-covered bites to a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an additional hour.
Serving
  1. Enjoy cold or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

Notes

For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt in place of some heavy cream. Ensure chocolate is properly tempered to avoid a chalky texture.
