    Luscious Chocolate Covered Frozen Key Lime Pie Bites are perfect for summertime entertaining. They’re easy-to-make, no-bake, and require  only a few minutes of hands on prep time.

    I’ve teamed up with Athens Foods for today’s post. I recently returned from Florida where I couldn’t resist ordering chocolate covered frozen key lime pie on a stick. It’s cool and refreshing and a must have on a hot Florida summer’s day. When I got home, I decided it would be fun to create a bite size version.

    These no-bake Chocolate Covered Frozen Key Lime Pie Bites start with Athens pre-made, recipe-ready Mini Fillo Shells as the base. You’ll find the Mini Fillo Shells in the freezer section at the supermarket. The shells are crisp and flaky and come in little plastic trays so the shells don’t get crushed or broken. 

    Ingredients for Chocolate Covered Frozen Key Lime Pie Bites

    I loaded up the shells with a creamy, tart key lime pie filling that doesn’t contained eggs, so you don’t have to bake them. Once the shells are filled and frozen, you simply melt the chocolate in the microwave and drizzle chocolate over the top of the bites.

    Then to make the bites pretty, I topped them with a little whipped cream, a thinly sliced wedge of lime, and a little lime zest. The decoration is optional, but it does dress them up nicely for a party.

    I used a dipping tool to hold the bite over the bowl of chocolate, but a regular fork would work as well.

    My family are milk chocolate lovers, but if you prefer semi-sweet chocolate use that instead.

    Luscious Chocolate Covered Frozen Key Lime Pie Bites are perfect for summertime entertaining. They’re easy-to-make, no-bake, and require only a few minutes of hands on prep time.

    These are the perfect ending to a summer party. You can make them ahead of time and keep them in the freezer until it’s time to serve them.

    Your guests will be impressed and there’s no need to tell them how easy they are to make.

    Ingredients

    • 2 packages 15 count, each Athens® Mini Fillo Shells
    • 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
    • ½ cup fresh key lime juice*
    • ¼ cup sour cream

    • Freeze bites for at least 1 hour more before serving.
    • Serve topped with a swirl of whipped cream and a lime wedge or finely grated lime zest, optional.

    Notes

    Note: *You can substitute ¼ cup lime juice and ¼ cup lemon juice for the key lime juice.
