Key Lime Pie Dates
Ever crave the tangy sweetness of key lime pie but don’t want to go through all the fuss of baking? Enter Key Lime Pie Dates!
These little bites of tropical delight capture the essence of a classic pie but in a quick, no-bake, healthy treat. Perfect for a snack, dessert, or even a fun party treat, these dates are bursting with flavor, and the best part is—you can whip up just one or enough to share with a crowd.
You’ll notice the recipe calls for 20 dates, but that’s just because this amount conveniently uses up a single-serve container of yogurt. However, this recipe is incredibly flexible—you can easily scale it down if you’re just making a treat for yourself or whip up a whole batch for a gathering. Adjust the quantities to suit your needs; it’s that simple! Hoping you enjoy this easy, breezy recipe 😉

Key Lime Pie Dates
Ingredients
- 20 Medjool dates, pitted and split open
- ¾ cup vanilla Greek yogurt, a single-serve container
- Juice of 2 key limes or 1 regular lime, ~2 tablespoons
- Zest from 1 lime, 1 to 2 teaspoons
- 1 square graham cracker, crushed
Instructions
- Mix the filling: In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the lime juice and lime zest. Stir until the mixture is smooth and the flavors are well blended. Set this aside—you’ve just created your key lime pie “filling”.
- Prepare the dates: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep things tidy. Place the pitted and split dates on the sheet, with the open sides facing up like little boats ready to be filled.
- Fill the dates: Using a teaspoon, carefully spoon the lime yogurt mixture into the center of each date. Don’t worry if it gets a little messy—that’s part of the fun. Then, sprinkle the crushed graham cracker over the tops of the filled dates, adding a delightful crunch reminiscent of the classic pie crust. For a pop of color and extra zing, garnish with a bit more lime zest.
- These can be enjoyed right away for a creamy, tangy treat or chilled for a bit to let the flavors meld and the texture firm.
Notes
• This recipe is incredibly flexible. Whether you want to treat yourself with just one or prep a whole batch for a gathering, it’s simple to adjust the quantities. Storage:
• If you’re not eating them all at once, store the filled dates in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Or, make the filling ahead of time and stash in the fridge, then assemble the dates when you’re ready to serve—or one at a time, as a craving calls. Ingredient Alternatives:
• Want to mix it up or go gluten free? Swap the graham cracker topping with crushed nuts, granola, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for a twist on the classic flavor.
• For a dairy-free alternative, swap out the Greek yogurt for vanilla coconut or soy yogurt.
