Easy Key Lime Pie
Seriously it doesn’t get much easier than this pie recipe! The most time-consuming part is squeezing those little key limes. It usually takes about 17-18 key limes for me to produce a 3/4 cup of juice.
I beg of you to use fresh key lime juice, it makes all the difference in this pie. Most grocery stores carry fresh key limes. You ‘can’ use regular limes or bottled key lime juice but I can’t guarantee the taste results.

Ok, so you know the drill on preparing a homemade graham cracker crust, right?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until moist and combined. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of the pie pan. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes.
Of course, if you would like to skip this and use a store-bought pie crust go right ahead.

While the crust is baking, combine the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, key lime zest, and fresh lime juice until smooth.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until tiny bubbles start to form on the surface. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
Chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
Our No Bake Cookies and Cream Pie recipe is always a hit too!
When ready to serve whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until it forms stiff peaks. Garnish as desired.
Serve and enjoy this delightful, super easy key lime pie!
