[...] Or more like Lemon-Lime Pie, because I only had lime juice and real lemons. I added some lemon zest to make it feel more like the recipe, and because I love lemon. When I was making it, I started the filling too early, so it started to get pretty thick, reminding me of some Lemon Bars Mom likes to make with sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice. Anyway, I’d suggest waiting until the crust is cooked before you start making the filling to avoid any mishaps (it wasn’t too bad though). I also thought of making it a coconut key lime pie, making it with coconut milk or flaked coconut. I might work on that. I got the recipe here. [...]

Last year I decided it was time to try making Key Lime Pie. This is the exact recipe that I used. Because the filling didn’t “fill” the pie plate, I made a topping of sour cream and confectioner’s sugar (got the idea from Emeril Lagasse’s recipe on foodnetwork.com). Then sprinkled a little more lime zest on top. Perfect! Glad to see that you’ve tried this recipe too.

Amy: Welcome! Glad to hear that the red velvet cupcakes worked out! And I think you can use regular limes — you’ll just get a slightly different flavor. I think key limes are a bit more tart than regular limes, so to compensate, you could boost the amount of zest a bit if you use regular limes. Let us know how it goes!

Hi Kristin–

I just discovered your blog (saw the link on Pioneer Woman cooks…) and it is beautiful! I made your red velvet cupcakes last weekend for my brother’s birthday and they were a hit, which was a relief because they are his favorite and the recipe I tried last year was a total bomb…

Anyway, I want to try this recipe but I am wondering if I can use regular limes? Do you know? Would it ruin everything? I just happen to have a bunch of limes in the fridge and, even if I didn’t, I’m not sure where I would get my hands on Key limes. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

I adore Key lime pie but have never been able to re-create it back here in the UK. We can’t get hold of Key limes (…or graham crackers for that matter). I’ve tried making it with regular limes but it just doesn’t seem to be quite the same. I think I may try this recipe though as it looks so wonderful. I’d love a slice right now!

I’ve been making Key lime pie since before we moved to Florida – back then, it was a great way to get us in that tropical frame of mind. My 18 year old son insists on Key lime pie for his birthday every year instead of cake.

One way to counterbalance the tartness is to top the pie with sweetened whipped cream. It adds a lovely creaminess to the pie. (It’s also less fussy than meringue, which is the other way to dress a Key lime pie.)
