He then pours the creamy mixture into a pastry bag and then perfectly pipes it into the pastry shells. He jokes the dessert is "zero calories" while he stirs it together. It's made with the same classic ingredients as most key lime pies: condensed milk, egg yolk, sugar, and key lime juice. While the crusts are baking, the key lime pie filling is mixed together. Once perfectly trimmed, the crusts are baked at 325 degrees for roughly 12 minutes. Once the dough is chilled, it's time to roll it out and form it inside the single-serving sized pie pan. It's then put in the fridge for an hour to chill and set up. Once the mix has reached the point of "sand," the eggs are incorporated into the dough and it is then mixed for three minutes in order to create the final product. He then mixes it all together with plenty of butter and sugar until it has a "sand" like texture.
