Key Lime Pie With 5 Ingredients image

I wanted a quick and easy pie that would mimic the flavor of Key Lime Pie but without the fuss. I tried a popular on-line recipe but found that without a gelling ingredient, the pie was messy to serve and the slices ran together. To solve the problem, I added Instant Pudding Mix and was very pleasantly surprised with the result. Note: use a LARGE graham cracker crust (deep dish type). If your store only carries the small prepared graham crusts, use two crusts.

Overall, this is a good recipe for a quick and easy key lime pie, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks.

The crust was a little soggy for my liking, but I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

This pie is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think I'll try adding a little bit of sugar to the filling next time.

I can't wait to try this recipe with other citrus fruits, like lemon or grapefruit.

I used a store-bought graham cracker crust to save time, but you could easily make your own.

I added a little bit of lime zest to the filling for an extra boost of flavor.

I was skeptical about a 5-ingredient key lime pie, but I was pleasantly surprised! It was easy to make and tasted just as good as any other key lime pie I've had.

This is the best key lime pie I've ever had! The filling is so smooth and creamy, and the crust is perfectly graham cracker-y.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a hit! The filling is perfectly tart and creamy, and the crust is flaky and buttery.
