Easy Key Lime Pie
Key lime pie is so delicious and falls into that must-have summer dessert category. I enjoy store-bought desserts, but key lime pie is SO easy to make at home. The tartness of fresh lime juice combined with sweetened condensed milk (plus a couple other KEY ingredients) provide a perfect flavor balance in this pie. Nestled in an easy-to-make graham cracker crust, key lime pie is the perfect summer dessert to serve. Here’s how I make key lime pie at home. I start by making my graham cracker crust (this crust can always be store-bought if you're short on time).
This recipe is an adaptation of several key lime pie recipes. I adapted how I made it by using a springform pan vs. a traditional pie plate. I started with the graham cracker crust recipe, then added the key lime pie filling recipe to the crust, before finally topping the pie with homemade whipped cream. However you choose to make your key lime pie, I hope it is delicious and makes your taste buds smile. Stay cool, the dog days of summer are around the corner. Better yet, stay cool with a chilled piece of key lime pie!
Easy Key Lime Pie is a must have summer dessert that can also be enjoyed year round.
The Key Lime Pie filling is made with simple ingredients that can be whisked together easily.
This recipe can be made with freshly squeezed lime juice. Store bought lime juice is an excellent alternative if you don’t feel like squeezing limes.
After your pie has chilled for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours, slice and serve with whipped cream.
