Thinner).cool And Fill The Pans With Key Lime Pie Mixture.

I love Key lime pie!! but I have only seen it in the south.... what's up with that?

We had Key lime pie when we were in Key West. It was delicious, can't wait to make this for dh.

This is GREAT I have been looking for an easy key lime pie recipe, it's my husbands favorite...and I am pretty fond of it too : )

My parents had (until June, when they moved) a Key Lime tree and we had Key Lime Pie a bunch. Nobody's can match my mother's, but I may try this. Although, I would recommend using real key limes if you can instead of bottled lime juice. There is a HUGE difference!!

That's not real Key lime pie. Real key lime pie is made with key lime juice not regular lime juice and is baked. Here is the recipe:

1 graham cracker crust
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup KEY LIME juice ( you can find Nellie & Joe's brand in the grocery store)
3 egg yolks

Preheat oven to 350

Mix all ingredients together and pour into the pie shell

Bake for 10 min.

Allow to cool completely, then refridgerate for atleast 4 hours, preferably overnight. Serve with whipped cream.

Amen, sister!! I was trying to say that in a nice way. There really is a HUGE, HUGE difference between lime juice and KEY LIME juice.

But, I would try the method just for a lower cal version. (I would change it a bit from this.)

Our Key Lime pie is not the norm, but it is so good!! It has merengue and a regular pie crust. The key ingredient (besides the key lime juice) is Haitian Rum Liqueur. Just a teaspoon, but it adds a bit extra to it. Oh, I miss the key lime tree already!

Yum! I love key lime pie! Will have to try this recipe.

The recipe calls for key lime juice but here in Michigan you can't get it so I put what I used instead.

Nellie and Joe's brand of Key Lime Juice is available in the vast majority of national grocery store chains in the baking section, it's everywhere. The Walmarts here also sell 2 lb bags of fresh key limes most of the year for $2.99, I use those too.
