Key Lime Pie

This quick and easy key lime pie has a creamy filling with lots of zest and zing, a delicious cookie crust and of course lots of whipped cream! It's a perfect make ahead pie and nearly foolproof! If you don't have key limes you can totally use regular limes.

I just want to give you a warm genuine thank you. I have baked 3 things in my entire life, and you have walked me through every step of each recipe. All of my co-workers are obsessed with this pie, and now all 7 of them want their own individual pie to take home. seriously wonderful content that makes baking easy and accessible to everyone who wants to try. thank you again.

You have seriously carried me through this quarantine so far. Honestly one of the most wholesome and good-spirited people I've seen on the internet, the enthusiasm with which you carry your recipes is so nice to see. Started picking up cake decorating again after binging all your videos and soon I'll have the most perfect buttercream roses! After every single video I feel like recreating it immediately and I've never made a key lime pie before, not from the US so it's not really a thing, so I think I'll surprise my sister with this for the weekend! Hope you have a great day, just wanted to express my appreciation 🌞🌞

Other good cookies for crusts (pies, cheesecakes, etc.) Trader Joe's "Cookie Thins" in Coconut, Meyer Lemon or Triple Ginger. I especially like using the Triple Ginger ones for pumpkin cheesecake crust. I used the Meyer Lemon ones for a lemon-blueberry cheesecake. Speculoos cookies (Trader Joe's or others). My sister-in-law requested TJ's Speculoos cookies for the crust for a cheesecake for her birthday. I like to make cheesecake. Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. They're the cookie part of Oreos, without filling, so you don't have to scrape away the filling. Often sold in the baking section of your market. Use the chocolate wafer cookies for a crust for a peanut butter cheesecake, and then cover with dark chocolate ganache to make a giant dark chocolate peanut butter cup. That was popular.

[@tammiemartinez6485]

Ooh, that peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake sounds gooood!!

[@brianwalkup5214]

WARNING: recipe calls for 21 net weight ounces of condensed milk (or 1 1/2 cans) NOT 21 fluid ounces. I made this last night and used way too much condensed milk. We're having it for dessert tonight so we'll see how it tastes. Coming out of the oven it was not fragrant of key limes. It's not going to taste bad, I just don't think it will be fragrant and zingy. UPDATE: it was delicious. I still want it to be limeyer and zingyer so I'm going to make it again with the right amount of condensed milk and a touch more zest.

[@athenastewart9167]

My recipe for Key Lime Pie uses meringue instead of whipped cream for the top. I have been making this pie for about 50 years. Also, my recipe calls for a regular pie crust, not a graham cracker one. The pie crust is pre-baked and the meringue is browned in the oven, but the filling itself is NOT cooked. That is the reason Key limes are used-- their acidity literally cooks the custard on its own. I love the idea for a cookie crust!

[@miunica89]
