Key Lime Pie Pops
These citrusy, frozen pops are a creative and refreshing dessert treat that puts a new twist on the traditional baked key lime pie.
Prep: 30 min | Total: 4 hr 45 min | Yield: 18 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
- 1/2 cup bottled or fresh Key lime or regular lime juice
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon grated lime peel
- 10 drops yellow food color
- 8 drops green food color
- 9 single-serve Graham cracker crusts (from two 4 ounce packages)
- 18 craft sticks (flat wooden sticks with round ends)
- 12 ounces vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In medium bowl, mix condensed milk, lime juice, egg yolks, lime peel and food colors with whisk. Pour into crusts. Place on cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until centers are set.
- Cool for 15 minutes.
- Cover; refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

- Freeze for 1 hour or until very firm.
- In small microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating on HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.
