Key Lime Pie

July 2, 2015 by Dayna

Key Lime Pie

Key lime pie has been one of my favorite desserts. I would always order and still order key lime pie from the menu when we go on vacation at the beach. A slice of sweet and tart lime with a buttery graham cracker crust is right up my alley. A touch of whipped cream makes this dessert even more delicious.


A few years ago, I decided I wanted key lime pie and the beach trip was not around the corner. I had no idea how easy key lime pie was to make. Word to the wise, there is no way around the crucial ingredient, Key Lime Juice! You cannot use just any lime juice. Well … you can, but it would not be a key lime pie in that case. There is something magical about these tiny limes. Since we are on the subject of tiny, you would have to juice a lot of these limes. I honestly do not take the time to juice key limes, and they are not always accessible when I need them. So, I buy Key lime juice, not lime juice, Key lime juice. It is available in bottled form year round and is perfect for this pie. I use Nellie & Joe’s Famous Key West Lime Juice. I find this key lime juice easily accessible at most supermarkets in the juice isle. (Not a sponsored post, just being helpful).
