Key lime pie and key lime flavored desserts are amazing. There’s something just a little bit sweeter about key limes.

They’re actually a bit different than regular limes so the flavors are understandably a bit different as well.

Key limes are yellow when ripe and smaller, more round in shape, with thinner skin. They don’t keep or store very well because of their thin skin, it’s best to buy them fresh if you can!

I love using key limes in desserts because they’re just SO tasty! I have a key lime pie fudge you should try in addition to this key lime pie!

Here’s what you’ll need to make this super easy key lime pie recipe:

We’re starting off with a store bought crust…you can make your own with some graham crackers, melted butter, and extra time but I like things as easy as possible!

For the filling we will be using sweetened condensed milk, sugar, sour cream, key lime juice, and key lime zest! That’s it! Apart from the key limes themlseves most of these ingreidents are in our pantry or refrigerator regularly.

I really enjoy being able to whip this recipe up pretty easily for friends and family or for when we need a little summer pick me up.

The key limes have such a great summer flavor. The citrus cuts the sweetness but also brightens things up. It’s a winner for sure!

How to make a key lime pie:

First you’ll want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, sugar, sour cream, lime juice and zest until combined.

Pour that mixture into the store-bought or homemade crust.

Bake the key lime pie recipe in the oven for 10 minutes.

Remove and allow to cool completely before cutting.

Top with cool whip and lime peels to decorate if you like!
