Par 4 the Fam

Tart, creamy, and just the right size for a sweet little victory lap after 18 holes.

Whether you’re celebrating a hole-in-one or just surviving the back nine with grace, these Key Lime Putt-Putt Bites are the ultimate 19th hole treat. They’ve got everything you love about a classic key lime pie — the zing, the creaminess, the buttery graham cracker crust — but in a perfectly portioned mini bite.

They’re fresh, citrusy, and totally poppable — ideal for showers, parties, golf tournaments, or just because you want to eat dessert with one hand and hold a cocktail in the other.

Ingredients (Makes ~24 mini bites)

For the crust:

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 3 egg yolks
• ½ cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
• Zest of 1 lime

Optional toppings:

• Whipped cream
• Lime zest or mini lime wedges
• Crushed graham crackers for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
2. Make the Crust:
   In a bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the crust into the bottom of each muffin cup and flatten firmly.
3. Bake the Crusts:
   Bake for 5 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
4. Mix the Filling:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and creamy.
5. Fill & Bake:
   Spoon the filling into the cooled crusts, filling nearly to the top. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the centers are just set.
6. Cool & Chill:
   Let the bites cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
7. Top & Serve:
   Add a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of lime zest, or a dusting of crushed graham crackers to finish them off.

Par 4 the Fam Pro Tip:

Serve these in mini cupcake wrappers with little flags or golf tees for decoration — then watch them disappear faster than a missed 4-footer. Call them “Putt-Putt Bites” and you’re instantly the MVP of the dessert table.
