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

  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!
