I loved this pie. I made it for work and everyone luved it, although I might use just a tad less condensed milk, little sweet. I made a few changes, after reading others reviews, like I used a reduced fat, pre made graham cracker crust and I used reduced fat condensed milk. I also did not freeze it, just let it cool, then left it in the fridge, unwrapped.

Really good! I made the following changes though. 1 and 1/4 cup graham crumbs with 1/4 cup butter for crust. Didn't add sugar. I couldn't find key lime juice so I used the 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4th lime juice (wasn't fresh. was from those lemon/lime shaped squeeze plastic bottle.) I also added about 1 teaspoon grated lime peel an sprinkled extra on top. Sweet with good lime flavour! I cheated on the whip cream and used dream whip. I would make again.

Not enough lime flavor, and too much condensed milk flavor even when I added less. However it would make a pretty good pie with a few slight modifications.

Not so good. Condensed milk taste was way too strong. Maybe my condensed mild was too old?? Otherwise very easy to make. Especially liked the graham cracker crust.

I made this for Easter and it was a great hit. The only things I would change would be to have the whipping cream sweater. I also added green dye to make it more festive and I added lime zest to the pie filling. Yum, Yum, Yummy! A big hit!

YUM!! This is the best key lime pie I've ever had. Its perfect. Not too tart, just right. Make sure you make your own crust. I bought a pre-made graham cracker crust (Keebler, I think) and it wasn't good. I will definitely make the homemade crust next time.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe I'm not used to "real" Key Lime pie. It wasn't "light" to me at all - too rich for my tastes. I couldn't get over the fact that I was essentially just eating eggs, condensed milk and lime juice. Doesn't sound appetizing when you put it that way - haha. Maybe I'm a wuss, but I'm going to try again later with pudding or something mixed in to give it more substance. Also - after only a day or so, it started "oozing" which looks REALLY gross.

If you are looking for something light, fluffy and delicious- this is it! I used 1 1/2 cans condensed milk; 2/3 key lime juice; 3 jumbo egg yolks (no whole eggs); and folded in 2 whipped egg whites. I added 1 ounce of lime jello for color and extra flavor. Wonderful! (I did not freeze it.)

I have eaten this pie 3 times made by various cooks. Everyone who tries it loves it and wants the recipe. Even the inexperienced baker had an excellent result getting rave reviews. Everyone followed the recipe obsessively. The only think I noticed is there was a difference in the "lime" taste between the pies despite each using the same amount. No one used key limes and so I think some limes have different intensities than others. In any case this is an awesome pie and everyone who tries it loves it.

I made this pie, based on the reviews of others. It was the first one I'd ever made and turned out great! My In-laws thought it was the best pie she'd ever had. I would definitely use this recipe again. The only thing I changed was I used a store bought pie crust and I didn't use whip cream; served it plain.

What a great recipe. Unlike other key lime pies I have made, this one is really light, and it lets you enjoy the flavor without making a sour face. I used a 1/2 cup of lime(regular lime) and a 1/4 cup of lemon and the flavor was perfect. I also didn't put mine in the freezer, just in the fridge until it was time to devour. Another nice touch is fresh raspberries on top or puree them drizzle on the plate. Keylime and raspberries is a classic compbo!!

Good and tart. Almost foamy in texture. It doesn't say what to do with the pinch of salt so I added it when I added the cream of tarter. I don't know why you would freeze this unless you wanted to keep it for awhile before you served it because it's much better in the refrigerator and the crust stays together better when it isn't frozen.

Great recipe! I used a homemade pastry crust instead of the graham cracker crust. It turned out delicious. I served it at a family gathering and they all stated it was a great pie, and we should know...we are all from Key West.

Excellent. Made it for Easter and got raves - I am just sad there were no left overs! I made 1.5 times the crust and used a 9 inch removable bottom tart pan - cook the crust a couple of minutes longer. It was beautiful. Topped with whipped cream and limes - perfect spring colors and awesome taste. I will be making this one again and again.

Very nice recipe. I thought the taste was just right. I wish it was a bit thicker though - maybe I will add more filling next time. I made it in a springform pan and that helped with getting the pie out. I always detroy pies when they are in the traditional pan. I enjoyed it frozen and just chilled in the fridge as well.
