Delightfully Fluffy Key Lime Pie Mousse Bites

ZICO Key Lime Pie Bites

Do you ever think about what you would do if you won the lottery (or something of that sort)? I do. I’ve known for years just exactly what I would do if I ever came into a large amount of money. Coconut Water on tap. Can you imagine how wonderful that would be?! Ice cold coconut water packed with potassium and electrolytes any time you want is basically my dream in life. My husband is not as convinced as I am so to show him just how versatile coconut water is, I made him these Key Lime Pie Bites. What could be more persuasive than pie? ;)

ZICO Chilled Juice Blend has long been my favorite brand of coconut water and now they’ve come out with something so delicious and refreshing I need to find more ways to sneak it in to my life: ZICO Chilled Juice Blends. They give such a tasty tropical flavor to these little key lime pie mousse bites. Grab a few bottles (you’ll want some to drink as well!) and get making these little bites of heaven!

What You Need

ZICO Key Lime Pie Bites

Makes 18 2×2” Key Lime Pie Bites – the amount of bites you end up with will depend on the size of silicon molds that you use.

  • 1 recipe Graham Cracker Crust
  • ¼ cup ZICO Chilled Juice Blend (I used the Pineapple Mango and it was delicious!)
  • 2 ½ teaspoons Powdered Gelatin
  • 1 ½ cups Heavy Cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • 1 recipe Key Lime Curd, chilled
  • Silicone Ice Cube Molds

How To

ZICO Key Lime Pie Bites

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place three silicon molds on a baking sheet.

Place half of the graham cracker crust mixture in an 8×8 baking dish and press down into the dish until smooth. Divide the remaining graham cracker crust mixture between the silicon molds, pressing the crumbs firmly down into each square. Bake the sheet of molds and the 8×8 baking dish in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the sides are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Crumble up the 8×8 pan on graham cracker crust and set aside.

Key Lime Curd Recipe
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon Key Lime Juice
  • 2 tablespoons ZICO Chilled Juice Blend (I used the Pineapple Mango flavor)
  • 6 tablespoons Butter, cubed

In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the eggs and egg yolks and whisk until smooth. Pour in the key lime juice and the Zico Juice Blend and whisk until combined. Add the butter. Place saucepan over medium/high heat and whisk constantly until the butter melts and mixture starts to bubble and thicken. Remove from heat. Whisk in 1 drop of green food color, if desired. Pour the curd into a bowl and press plastic wrap directly on to the top of the curd (this stops a skin from forming). Refrigerate until cold.

Graham Cracker Crust Recipe
  • 9 Graham Crackers (one sleeve)
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 9 tablespoons Butter, melted

Place the graham crackers and sugar in a food processor and process until graham crackers are finely ground. Pour in the melted butter and process until well combined.
