One of my favorite desserts (actually there are many), is key lime pie.
A bite of key lime pie is like a little tropical taste of Florida.
So, I took my key lime pie recipe and jazzed it up a bit. Added some coconut and made that favorite pie into mini bites of tropical paradise!
The key lime pie sits on a coconut graham cracker crust and is topped with coconut whipped cream. Baked in a muffin tin, these bite sized treats are the perfect size.
You know I love my mini treats!
