Tips:

For the best results, use fresh key limes. Bottled or store-bought key lime juice will not give you the same flavor.
Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it to whip up quickly and smoothly.
If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue topping by placing the pie under the broiler for a few minutes. Just watch it closely so that the meringue doesn't burn.
This pie is best served chilled. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
