Steps:
- FOR THE FILLING:

- Add in 1/2 cup fresh squeezed key lime juice and mix on medium high speed for about 5 minutes until mixture looks thick.
- Cover and refrigerate.
- FOR THE PIE CRUST:
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Finely crush pretzels with a mini food processor or crush by hand with a rolling pin in a ziplock bag until you have a cup and a half.
- Pour into a bowl and add 1/4 cup brown sugar and 8 Tablespoons of melted butter.
- Mix until all the butter is soaked and the pretzels are moist.
- Pour mixture into a 7-9" pie pan. You may not need all the pretzel mixture depending on the size of your pie pan.
- Smash down the mixture with your hands firmly (or a flat bottomed object like a measuring cup) until the mixture is firmly and evenly distributed on the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Bake at 350° F on middle rack for 8-10 minutes
- Cool crust for 10 minutes.
- Leave oven on 350° F.
- FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM:
- With a stand mixer, hand mixer, or whisk pour in 1 cup very cold heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or extract.)
- Begin whipping on low speed and slowly increase speed as the cream thickens.
- When the cream begins to form soft peaks add 1 Tablespoon sugar and finish whipping until cream forms stiff peaks.
- Don't over whip or you will have a bowl full of butter.
- Transfer to a container with a lid and refrigerate until ready.
- When the crust has cooled (it's okay if it feels slightly warm) add the key lime filling and smooth out evenly.
- Bake on middle rack at 350° F for 13-15 minutes. Middle should be jiggle a bit.

Tips:
- Use fresh limes. The fresher the limes, the better the pie will be. Look for limes that are green and free of blemishes.
- Grate the lime zest finely. This will help to release the lime's flavor and aroma.
- Don't over-mix the filling. Over-mixing can make the filling tough.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set. The filling should be firm to the touch and not jiggly.
- Chill the pie before serving. This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Sweet lime pie with a salty pretzel crust is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and salty flavors is sure to please everyone. This pie is also relatively easy to make, so it's a great option for beginner bakers.
