Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes. Fresh key limes have a more intense flavor than bottled or frozen lime juice. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but you may need to add more lime juice to taste.
  • Don't overbeat the egg yolks. Overbeaten egg yolks can make the pie filling too thick and custardy. Just whisk them until they are light and fluffy.
  • Bake the pie until the center is just set. The pie should not be completely firm in the center, as it will continue to cook as it cools.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

Key lime pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a hit with guests. With its creamy, tangy filling and graham cracker crust, key lime pie is a delicious and refreshing treat that is sure to please everyone.
