Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh key limes. If you can't find key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before you start making the filling. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the filling. Overbeating can cause the filling to become curdled.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Key lime pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're a beginner baker or a seasoned pro, you're sure to love this classic recipe.
