A delightful treat featuring creamy key lime filling in a crispy graham cracker crust, all enveloped in rich chocolate. Perfect for gatherings!
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup Butter (melted)
For the Filling
- 1/2 cup Key lime juice (freshly squeezed or bottled)
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk 1 can
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
For the Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (optional) For a smoother chocolate coating
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 8-inch square dish to form an even crust. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and key lime juice, mixing well until fully combined and creamy.
- Spread the key lime mixture evenly over the crust in the dish. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until solid.
- Once frozen, remove the dish and cut the key lime mixture into bite-sized squares.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip each Key lime square in the melted chocolate, coating completely. Place the chocolate-covered bites on a wax paper-lined tray.
- Once all bites are coated, return them to the freezer for about 30 minutes, until the chocolate is set.
- Enjoy your Chocolate Covered Frozen Key Lime Pie Bites straight from the freezer for the best texture!
