My first attempt at Key Lime Pie and it was fabulous! It was a little too tart for me so I will cut back on the lime juice a little the next time I make it, but when I went to get a slice the day after I made it, it was all gone... my fiance got to it before I could!

Fabulous! I did add 2 cans Sweetened Condensed Milk for extra filling as many previously suggested. In increased the fresh-squeezed lime juice by 1/3 cup. I added 2 drops of green food coloring for the 'green' effect.

I don't know if I did something wrong, but the filling came out awful. It was very clumpy. I tried the 4 egg yolk, 2 cans milk, and 1 cup of key lime juice and it didn't bake well, and the texture was bad. My dad said it tasted okay but I will have to try again.

I thought this was good for how quick it was to fix, but I wish it had more of a lime taste and less of the sweetened condensed milk taste.

With the suggested reviewer changes (2 cans Milk, 1 cup juice, 4 egg yolks) this recipe is perfect. It took me almost an hour to bake this but that has to do with my oven. Even so it came out perfectly: I had enough to fill one pre-made pie shell plus 4 mini pie shells.

I made the recipe as stated, except I made my own crust and I used limes( key limes not available). It was very easy and fast to put together, it filled the pie crust well and my husband, who loves key lime pie, said it was very good. Will be keeping this recipe! Thanks

This is the BEST Key Lime my family and I have ever had. I took the advice of another reader and used 4 egg yolks and 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of lime juice..... Wonderful flavor!

I made this recipe this past weekend and everyone LOVED it. It was very easy to make. I followed another's advice and only added four egg yolks but used an additional can of sweetened condensed milk. It came out perfect!

Mmm... good! This was incredibly easy and oh so tasty! I was too lazy to squeeze 30 key limes as another review had done, so I tried the suggestion of 1/2 cup lemon, 1/2 cup lime juice from the bottles. It worked great, perfect amount of tartness. I also followed other recommendations regarding the 2 cans sweetened condensed milk and 4 egg yolks. Everyone at our July 4th celebration loved it! Oh yeah, and homemade graham cracker crust makes all the difference.

I took previous suggestions of 4 egg yolks, 2 sweetened condensed milk and 1 c. lime juice. WONDERFUL! It does make more than one pie crust full. I used the mini graham cracker pie crusts to take to work. This version makes enough to fill about 14 of the mini crusts. Super easy for serving.

Pretty good pie! Lovely flavor! I used others suggestions: 4 yolks and 2 cans sweetened cond. milk (I used the fat free kind). I also used a pre-baked pie crust and key lime juice from the bottle. I baked it for 30 minutes since I had an additional can of milk. My dad loved this pie! My only mistake was that after it was well chilled, I topped it with whipped cream from the can -HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE MISTAKE!! The whipped cream deflated and liquified and is now seeping down the sides of the crust, I'm sure making it soggy as I type. We ate some to still enjoy the flakiness of the crust but I'm afraid that experience is over. In the future I will definitely use heavy whipping cream to make my own whipped cream -it stays firm and pretty and doesn't ruin your pie! Don't make my mistake.
