• 1 tbsp lemon zest

How to Make No-Bake Lemon Coconut Mini Pie Recipe

PIN IT

1. Prepare the crust – Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press into lined muffin cups to form mini pie crusts. Chill while you prep the filling.
2. Mix the filling – In a bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and thick. Fold in whipped cream gently.
3. Assemble – Spoon the filling into the chilled crusts.
4. Top it off – Sprinkle coconut flakes over each mini pie. For extra flavor, lightly toast the coconut first.
5. Chill & serve – Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

The filling thickens beautifully as it chills, making each bite creamy and dreamy.

What to Serve with No-Bake Lemon Coconut Mini Pie Recipe

• A tall glass of iced tea or lemonade for a refreshing pairing.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream if you want extra indulgence.
• Fresh berries (blueberries or raspberries work beautifully with lemon).

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Chill time is key – Don’t rush; the pies need time to firm up.
• Toast your coconut – It adds nuttiness and crunch.
• Use fresh lemon juice – Bottled juice won’t give the same zing.
• Line muffin tins with cupcake liners for easy removal.

Storage Instructions

• Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freeze individually wrapped pies for up to 2 months—just thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
