I have never made a key lime pie before but after scoring fresh Key limes for a great price, I jumped in with both feet. This is hands down the easiest key lime pie recipe and oh so delicious.


Sour cream, graham crackers, sweetened condensed milk make up most of the ingredients.

Fresh Key limes are a crucial ingredient~do not substitute regular limes.

Make a graham cracker crust or use a store-bought one.

Add the filling and bake for a short period of time (DO NOT BROWN) and then chill thoroughly.

Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream, if desired.
