Key Lime Pie

Pie lovers this easy Key Lime Pie is for you! Aren’t we all pie lovers though?!? Fresh, decadent, easy, and the most amazing lime dessert I have ever eaten!

Do you have a real love affair with citrus desserts? Me too! I think the balance between the sweetness and sour is like a magical unicorn dessert in my mouth.

Citrus can really brighten up any ol’ dessert or meal, I use lemons (and limes if they aren’t horrifically expensive) daily.

This key lime pie is so insanely easy to make! Even though it’s 3 whole layers I really wanted to make it as easy as possible, for you and for me!

This beauty of a pie can be made with the exquisite Key Lime or any lime you can find! Now graham cracker crumbs are great but you can honestly use any sweet wheat biscuit, an alternative is the McVitie’s Digestive Biscuits.

How to Cook The Best Key Lime Pie:

  • Any type of lime will do! The harder thicker skinned ones are better for getting the zest.

  • When juicing the limes, use a hand juicer or if you don’t have one (I don’t), you can use a teaspoon or I used the round end of a kitchen brush!

  • The baked lime layer should go into a warm - hot pie crust.

  • This type of lime pie is at it’s best when chilled for both taste and pie texture!

Enjoy! x
