Well this recipe created the foundation for what I found to be the best key lime pie recipe. I also thought the orignal recipe didn't set up well (but we did love it) and I thought the topping was missing something.. I tweaked this just a bit and added one packet of unflavorerd gelatin to the lime juice and let it sit for a few mins (maybe 10) stuck it in the microwave for just a bit and added that last during the mixing phase. I also changed the topping which I must say was much better (we thought) we omitted the vanilla altogether and whipped about half a cup of heavy cream until we got peaks added the powdered sugar and then I added half cup of SOUR CREAM and spread this over about 30 mins after pie was chilled.. Pie was perfectly set after 2 hours. This second pie was DIVINE it was a little less tart than some but my offical recipe for Key lime pie now thanks..
