This is great! Lots of zing and just the right amount of sweetness. Don't over do it in the oven though, I did the first time and it got all puffy and ugly - but still tasted good.

I made this yesterday using the half lemon juice and half lime juice. It was excellent. I froze it overnight and transfered it to the fridge in the morning, so it is a great make ahead dessert. It was a perfect texture by late afternoon. I will make this again.

Delicious! I used a premade pie crust. Like another reviewer, we liked the texture better refrigerated, not frozen.

I used a premade graham crucker crust so the recipe was very easy and only took about 5 minutes and then cooking time. My husband whose favorite dessert is key lime pie said that it was very good and gave it 5 stars.

A tart and tasty pie that impressed my father-in-law who currently resides in Fl. I made one small change using a pastry crust instead of graham crackers which worked just fine (bake crust first). Overall an excellent recipe.

Everyone loved this pie - even though I used 1/2 lime juice and 1/2 lemon juice instead of the key limes. I will definitely be making again soon - especially now that I finally found some fresh key limes!

This pie was amazing! I garnished with lime slices and curly lime peels. I must admit that it was the first key lime pie i have ever made and I was so caught up in it that I forgot to cook it! My advise is to cook it, but even raw it was delicious!

My first time making key lime pie. My boyfriend liked it a lot. I had problems with the crust sticking to the pan. I will probably make it again.

My first attempt at Key Lime Pie - Delicious!!!! My father-in-law is usually very conscious of his calorie intake but he was the first one with an empty plate! It's a big hit! I'll treasure this recipe. I used 1/4 C juice from lemon and 1/4 cup juice from regular limes. I also made homemade whipped cream with vanilla and sugar added to heavy cream.

My local grocer does not carry key lime juice, so I used a mixture of lemon and lime (probably 1/4 to 3/4 ratio), and the flavor was quite good. I loved the mousse-like texture! I used my own pastry crust rather than a graham-cracker crust. I made it for a party, but very few people even tasted it. The next day I served it to my family, and they were unenthusiastic. I loved it and had really hoped for rave reviews!

The pie came out great. I don't have access to "key limes" or "key lime juice" so I used 1/4 cup of Realemon and 1/4 cup of Realime. I added a pinch of salt to the juice - it is listed in the ingredients, but not mentioned in the directions. When I make the whipped topping I add a tsp of vanilla extract and 3 tbsps white sugar. Next time I make this I might add a drop of green food colouring when I fold in the egg whites.

I just made this last night with fresh key limes and fresh lemons. I thought it was really good. Haven't shared it with anyone yet. I thought it was a little sweet. I used reduced fat condensed milk. I may try next time with all key limes. I used a prepared graham cracker crust and refrigerated overnight. I'll definitely make again.

As other reviewers said they had problems with the base I decided to use my own recipe. The filling turned out fantastic. It was flavoursome (not too sweet or sour) and had a beautiful consistancy - almost cheesecake like. I didn't put it in the freezer, just in the fridge and it was fine. A very easy to prepare and inexpensive dessert!
