My dad had a really rough couple of weeks in the hospital right before Christmas. He finally got to come home last week and get away from that awful hospital food! My step mom has been spoiling him with his favorite meals all week, but his favorite thing of all is Key Lime Pie. On Saturday my daughter used this recipe (although with a pre-made graham cracker crust) to make Grandpa a pie. We went over to visit on Sunday and he LOVED this pie! He said it was the best Key Lime Pie he ever had! Thank you so much Chef Jean-Pierre and staff for making such an awesome channel! GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

[@PeterPounders]

I made this today for my wife’s birthday. Absolutely the best key lime pie we’ve had. We live in FL too so that’s saying a lot.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Happy wife, happy life! 😊

[@colleencannon7035]

I love you chef. Am sad to have just found you a few weeks ago. Could have been using your recipes for years. I am 85 this year.

[@sekaf4125]

Chef you are an incredible teacher, I notice all the fine details. My brother and I have a saying “cant buy experience “ being in the commercial painting business for 35yrs I just retired and now little brother is running the business. Which gives me more time to follow you and do your recipes. As a young boy I would stand next to my mom and watch and learn. She was a fabulous home cook. Simple meals that tasted soooo good. Everyone wanted to eat at my house. Thank you again for the channel and the years of knowledge and experience you are sharing!!!!

[@LilyOlea777]

My husband and I were just in Florida. He was testing and comparing key lime pies. His birthday is next weekend. I’m going to surprise him with this. The recipe looks wonderful.

[@robertakerman3570]

Thoughtful partner.

[@mosesmanaka8109]

It won't be a surprise if he reads this comment. But he will be surprised how nice you have made it. And he won't be surprised how much you love him. 👊😊👍

Great example of a Key Lime Pie! In my home town of Big Pine Key, FL. they just made the larges Key Lime Pie in the world celebrating the Florida keys 200 birthday on the 3rd of July 2023 measuring 13 feet wide! Was crazy big but fun to see! Yours looks amazing!

[@teacup4336]

Chef JP, you are a true inspiration. I've watched your videos almost daily since "discovering" you around three months ago, finding new things to try out and it's exciting. I've gone from using jars of sauce to making my own; boxed stock to having home made stock (frozen for 17 years) ready to go when needed! I even bought a couple of proper knives (courtesy of another video of yours teaching what is necessary) and a lovely chopping board. For the first time in a very long time, I'm truly excited over doing something. My one and only deep regret is that I didn't find your channel before my father passed away just before Christmas. He would have absolutely loved the meals you've helped me prepare for my mother. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Chef JP. God bless you and keep you.

[@anthonyiannone8766]

Chef JP, I’m sure you hear this often but I’ll say it anyhow. You are a delight to watch. Often, I watch your videos just for the fun of it as it cheers me up. Your ability to talk is as awesome as your cooking talent. You keep it fun and amusing. The knowledge you casually impart is quite treasured. Brilliant! Thank you so very much 🙏🏽❤️

I liked that, too!

[@bramblebop1904]

It's a cute production trick, that said, I'm prepared to watch my favorite chef in real time ! 👍😂

[@Zaku186]

I also liked it because i really wanted to see how to crust looked when we was done. I wasn't sure how thick he would lesve the bottom and how neat he was going to be about it and the time lapse let me see really quick.

[@quincyashton]

Chef Jean-Pierre is the best chef on the internet. Always great to watch and the recipes are fantastic! Keep up the great work and content!

[@gerry4281]

I agree.

[@deanneparis8888]

My grandfather was from the Florida keys and he always said that he didn’t know anybody out of south Florida that made key lime pie correctly. People used to put green food coloring in it, he thought that was blasphemy. He would also never let a Persian lime near his pies, but key limes are hard to find outside of Florida.

[@julietteyork6293]

I’ve never seen a more beautiful key lime pie or a more gorgeous crust. I will definitely make this for a summer treat. It looks subLIME! 🌷

[@byronjones7263]

Chef I appreciate so much your dish presentation. So easy, yet so elevates the dish and appetite. Merci (How to take a $10 pie and sell it for $22 per slice.) lol

[@ron56pvi13]

My favorite desserts are tiramisu and key lime pie and you have given us first class recipes for both. Thank you, Chef!

[@Tomatohater64]

I still remember munching on this delicious treat in the Florida Keys back in the 1970s. 🥳🥳

[@necrosiskoc9617]

I made this last weekend for a friend of mine that lived in Florida for awhile and her favorite dessert is key lime pie. She's pretty picky and will always try it for dessert when she sees it on the menu at restaurants and is usually pretty disappointed with the versions that are available here in Indianapolis. Most of it is frozen, not made from scratch, and covered with whipped cream and they look more like a key lime version of a lemon meringue pie. She absolutely loved this recipe and said it was the best she's ever had.

[@pierre6625]

Chef Jean Pierre, I love the way you always explain the reason for each step you use when teaching us. It makes cooking fun for home cooks like myself. Love to follow you making great recipes. This pie will be a gift for my wife. Best Regards. ❤👍

[@williamroberts7794]

Went to buy a key Lime pie at Harris Teeter and they did not have any so we got your recipe and decided to make our own from your recipe. Wow. I love Key Lime pie and this was the best ever. Thank you so much and really fun to make. Your crust was the best

[@Boudica234]

FINALLY! A chef who loads up on that sweet crust!

[@tvideo1189]

Loved the music "The Entertainer" while you made that piecrust. :) You are in fact the most entertaining chef I have seen since Justin Wilson.

[@Libora100550]

The best teacher ever. I am Italian and I cook exactly the same way. Common sense cooking and tasteful and healthy. My Sicilian grandmother on my father’s side worked cooking for the priests her whole life here in America and brought me in to that kitchen at 8 years old. I learned everything from her. My mother from the other side of the family was Neapolitan and cooked a different style but very well and an amazing baker taught me so much as well. I am so lucky and blessed to have had two grandmothers teaching me techniques. I miss them all. Mom is gone now too. Thank you for being so special. My friends and family say I am your number 1 fan!!! 😂❤😂

"When you grind your nuts, the oil come out of the nuts!" Hahahaha! We love you, chef! I adore Key lime pie. Might be my favorite. Thank you for this.

[@starlightzz1480]

My co worker said this was his favorite pie. He tried to make his mom's recipe and it didn't turn quiet right so I told him I will attempt for him. He's an old man so I decided this recipe is the one. I can't wait to make it this looks phenomenal!!! Thanks Chef! ❤❤

[@PrestonVenzant]

I truly love the attention to cleanliness. When I grow up I want to be just like you. LOL.

[@ButterFly-zh8ho]

When I had an oven I made a lemon pie, not condensed milk but a mixture of thick creams and natural yoghurt from the fridge, egg yolks, lemon juice and a little zest, a little sugar, a pinch of starch to thicken the preparation, a short passage in the oven at 150°c to freeze the lemon cream. The bottom was according to what I had, crumble, dough. I collected the syrup to make a meringue on the pie with the egg whites.

[@melissamartin632]

That pie!! OOH LALA!!! But that crust with the nuts and coconut really makes it Lime and coconut goes so well together I can't wait to make it thank you Chef for this wonderful recipe💗💚💛💙💜

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Just stopped by for a refresher, I haven't made one in years. Learned a few tricks. Looks delicious.

[@organicvids]

3:44 we gonna put another pound of butter. Haaa luv this chef.

[@MrDrivingFaster]

This is the authentic Key West recipe. I would add some cinnamon and nutmeg in the crust. It brings the true Caribbean aroma in the crust.

[@barryphillips6658]

What really takes this Key Lime Pie to the next level is the crust - with the sweetened coconut flakes and mixed nuts. It is AMAZING and foolproof. Thank you Chef JP.

[@AJR-zg2py]

1:27 On the hottest day of the year up here... very timely advice, Chef.

[@bill9653]

Chef JP, I never made this particular pie but the end result was awesome! I let my wife buy some of the ingredients, including the 'condensed milk, which out to be a mistake. I put the pie together, and in the oven, but the pie never set. She bought 'Evaporated Milk' instead and since it has been years since I worked with condensed milk, I did not notice until I watched your video again and saw how thick the condensed milk was. So, we went to the market and bought the correct ingredients, but I did not want to waste the original mixture, so I added a cup of sugar, some corn starch and thickened it and churned it in my ice cream maker. The result was an awesome Key Lime ice cream to top the Key Lime Pie. Thanks again Chef!

[@Katrina.for_art]

a great baker shared a trick with the 1st slice. cut a big wedge that when halved would be size of 2 pieces. Cut the wedge in half to make 2 pieces and when you take out the 1st piece there is little if any mess up, um struggle, breakage, you know what I mean, Works for cakes and pies. Love you chef!!!

[@chriscr21]

Great recipe Chef, I use Ginger Snap Crust for my Coconut Lime pie, I will have to make this one for sure.

[@markaustin4370]

Made this for a summer dinner party. Huge hit! I like it as its not too sweet. I used unsweetened coconut because it's what i had and it worked fine.

[@ngongnganga6708]

I am very new to serious cooking. I honestly did not believe I could make anything edible by following highly accomplished Chef (☹). Chef Jean-Pierre came to my feed and changed all that. I thoroughly enjoy what I have cooked these days. Now I have vowed to make my own, BUTTER, DESERT, SOUPS ( Onyo soup being my fav, never like the salty restaurant kind ) and many delicious French cuisine. I have watched other Chefs but the energy, dedication, attention to details and an easy common sense approach made Chef Pierre my BEST chef. I have watched most of his shows with great admiration. I come from a culture where men only grill meat. Now I am a better man in the Kitchen! ASANTE SANA CHEF. (Swahili for THANK YOU VERY MUCH CHEF).

[@colormecooleggs9917]

Just had this yesterday...Yours looks better Chef...Of course I think this desert is better if not too tart! Chef, You know what I would like to see? Something special. Something that takes a little more work, but is worth it in the end. Something without mushrooms! Now that Chef would be worth watching! Something a Master such as yourself takes pride in!

[@brucebergstresser3973]

I love that you love your job. You bless me with wisdom, skills, ability and humor. Merci beaucoup, Chef. 🧡 😋 👍

[@HTMLguruLady2]

Chef, you failed to mention that key limes taste dramatically different than any other type of lime! I sure wish I was in your studio right now so I could have a slice of that YUM! That is nearly exactly how I make my key lime pie! Except I only use key limes, no Persian limes. But then, I am a native Floridian. Anyone who grew up, or lives in, South Florida and does not know how to make a key lime pie, shame on them lol. Key lime pie is the absolute perfect summer indulgence ❤️

[@maryannstewart9051]

We've made 5 of chefs dishes in the last week, short ribs, chicken parmesan, shrimp & grits, chicken francais, and risotto with seafood, ALL WERE FABULOUS....decided we needed a chef JP dessert! we watched 6 videos today and key lime pie was the winner. It is now chilling in the fridge, waiting to be our dessert after another chef JP lunch tomorrow. I confess, after "cleaning" the bowl & tasting the filling, can hardly wait to serve it! Now to decide which of chef's dishes to make for lunch tomorrow??? Decisions, decisions....😍😋😍😋 thank you chef Jean Pierre for your wonderful program, we love, that you love what you do.

[@christinaquinn7830]

Chef JP, I made this pie yesterday. My husband is a big pie fan and I have been fiddling around with key lime pie recipes for years, always pitching them because they did not taste like the Key Lime pies. So, I fed him a mouthful, after I had eaten some and he was over the moon. He loves it. My husband is very straightforward. If he didn't swoon, it was not good. He is now saying he can wait to eat his way through it. And he will. I am the tester, he is the eater. Thank you. I am passing this on to our daughter so she can teach our granddaughters how to make it.

A staple at my neighborhood feasts. While usually featuring one of your dishes Du jour the desert is always the same, mostly because it is my absolute favorite, Key Lime Pie. The running joke is while we buy the pie at Publix or some place else we always talk about how we made it at home. Well now I think I will actually make it at home. Thanks for the pie, we too all love it.

Love key lime pie, it's a real Florida thing. This recipe is next level, thanks!

[@beltrams]

What I've always loved about key lime pie is indeed how the sweet and the sour contrast with each other. The whipped cream, with its cool, smooth, slightly sweet creaminess, also sets up against the powerful lime custard in a beautiful way as well. I recently traveled to South Florida, visiting again after an absence of several decades and, of course, sampled several restaurants' key lime pie examples because I simply had to revisit Florida in as many ways as possible. I got curious about how to make key lime pie and your video here didn't disappoint. Thanks!

After taste test, crust is divine and flavorful, whipped cream fluff topping divine and nicely sweetened, Key lime filling: I would need to cut back on lime zest maybe zest of 1/2 to 1 lime, as it's overpowering. But our tastebuds keep coming back for more. Having some right now again.

Conch fritters please! 😁 I visited the Conch Republic once. I was fortunate to discover a bar/eatery on the boardwalk that was still popular with the locals. I spent all afternoon sitting on a barstool with my dachshund on the next stool. Because I kept asking about food and they were not busy the cook sent out many different samples. I still remember the crispy fritters with a spicy dill sour cream dip. I also remember some waffle cut fried potatoes with a funky seasoning. Kind of cheesy, kind of musky like mushrooms. I was terribly lucky to make such acquaintances. I learned oh so much more drinking a beer in a dirt/sand floored bar.
