Key Lime Bites Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix macadamia nuts, shredded coconut, and graham cracker crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.

  3. 3

    Bake

    Return the dish to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Make the Strawberry Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the strawberries and sugar over medium heat. Cook until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  5. 5

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the chilled key lime pie into bite-sized squares. Serve with a drizzle of strawberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream on top.
