This is the best! Being a Floridian, I have had my share of both very good and very bad Key Lime Pie. I did make a few changes to the recipe after reading the reviews. I only used 4 egg yolks, I used 2 cans sweetened condensed milk, and I used 1 cup key lime juice. Hint**If you can not find any key lime juice then just use equal parts lemon and lime juice (best if fresh). These adjustments will make more filling than needed, but the texture and taste is better. I had to increase my baking time by 15 minutes. I prebaked my redi-crust and this came out great. The new #1 key lime pie for my family.

As other reviewers mentioned, I used 4 egg yolks, 1 cup of lime juice, and 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk. This was just the right amount to fit in the premade pie shell. I then decorated it using whip cream and a pastry bag and garnished with lime wedges. Let's just say, the family was impressed not only with the taste but also with the appearance. Great pie!!!

This was the best... and so easy! I whipped this up for Christmas, and there were no leftovers! It's a must try! I followed the recommendations of 4 yolks, 2 cans of condensed milk, and 1 C lime juice... baked for 25 min with my own crust.

This was so unbelievably easy to make & produced such a delicious key lime pie! I first made it in August for my mother-in-law's visit & wasn't sure how the recipe was going to turn out. But it came out wonderfully & my mother-in-law could not stop raving about it! I had to print her a copy of this recipe before she left for the airport, & I have also emailed it to my sister-in-law upon her mom's request that she try this recipe. It has the perfect amount of richness & tartness for us (a small sliver goes a long way). The whipped cream topping was a beautiful touch! I used a Keebler reduced fat graham cracker crust & altered the recipe according to another reviewer's suggestions. I used 4 egg yolks, 2 (14 oz) cans of sweetened condensed milk, & 1 cup of bottled key lime juice. i had to bake for 20-25 minutes instead of just 15 minutes. We found out that it also tastes best when refrigerated for at least several hours. Hope you enjoy this pie as much as my family & I did!

This pie is so divinely good! I used all 5 egg yolks, and about a can and a half of sweetened condensed milk. I also increased the amount of lime juice to about 2/3s of a cup - these proportions gave it the perfect amount of sweet-tart flavor for my tastes. I also added the zest of 3 key limes for extra flavor, and 2 small drops of green food coloring for a very light lime color. While I usually prefer whipped cream, I topped it with whipped topping, because that is what my boyfriend's family prefers, (I had cooked dinner for them.) and I think it works better with the rich filling than heavy cream would. Light cream would probably be just as good. Everyone loved this pie... its easy, quick, and delicious. What more could you want?

Excellent pie. We recommend using 1 cup lime juice, 4 yolks & 2 cans of condensed milk to fill the pie crust. Couldn't ask for an easier, quicker, tastier key lime recipe.

Great recipe! It was a little more tart than I like, but that can be fixed by adjusting some of your measurements. I use the following: 3/4 c. key lime juice (Nelly & Joe's brand), 2 cans sweetened condensed milk, and 4 egg yolks. It comes out perfect EVERY time, and people constantly ask for the recipe. Trust me... these measurements are the way to go. I've made it this way probably 20 times at least!!! You can also easily cut back on fat and calories by using lowfat sweetened condensed milk -- you will never know the difference.

After reading the recipe and several of the reviews, I made an adjustment of my own that turned out great. Instead of the yolks, I used 4 whites and two cans of fat-free cond. sweetened milk. It was light, tasted great and even the health-nuts loved it!

Great super easy to make pie, I had the whole thing done and chilling in under 30 minutes. One thing, I would suggest using 4 yolks instead of 5, it is just too eggy in flavor with 5.
