Amazing Key Lime Pie is absolutely delicious. It has just the right amount of tart and it comes together pretty quickly. I encourage you to try making one today. It was my sister’s birthday yesterday and she loves key lime! So I decided to make her a pie. It is her favorite dessert. 

What is your favorite dessert? I think you might change it to key lime pie if you taste this pie! And if you are trying to make it fast, you get yourself some lime juice in a bottle. I have never used anything but fresh, but that is another option.

Tips and Tricks for Amazing Key Lime Pie:

 

• Make sure that you use sweetened condensed milk, NOT canned milk. My daughter accidently used can milk, and it just doesn’t turn out the same.
• If you are in a hurry, you can use a store bought graham cracker crust instead of making one.
• You could use bottled lime juice instead of Fresh Lime Juice if you are in a hurry.
