Easy recipe, I followed it to the letter and I got a good result. Maybe a wee bit tangy with all the lime but still fabulous. It took a while to set so I couldn't eat it the same night I made it. I put it in the freezer over night and by the next day it was terrific. I did NOT add additional sugar because I found the condensed milk & pudding mix was sweet enough. Next time maybe I'll do only 1/2 cup lime juice and 1/2 tbsp of zest to tame the tangyness. Great & super-easy recipe though!

This was really easy and REALLY Good. I did not use a full cup of fresh lime juice or grated lime zest....Only about a 1/4 of a cup... ( i do not have a juicer) Then the rest was out of the little lime shaped thing you can get at the store....

Nothing special. I followed directions exactly except I added 1/4 cup shredded coconut as another reviewer suggested and no one like it. Everyone said it tasted just like eating a cool whip pie. It also didn't have any green color to it whatsoever, so I added two drops of green food coloring to give it more eye appeal. Still didn't help. Will not make again.

My teenage son loves to make this pie for Thanksgiving. This is the fourth year he has made it. Easy and gets rave reviews every time. Thanks for sharing

I had no idea what Key Lime Pie was until a friend asked me to make one for his birthday instead of cake a few years back. I followed the directions exactly and he raved that it was the best pie he’d ever had! I've made this pie several times since then completely as is. It’s so cheap and easy to put together it’s great for get-togethers and pot lucks. It’s always devoured quickly. Thank you for the great recipe!

As mentioned by an earlier reviewer - using the thawed can of frozen margarita mix in place of the lime juice makes this an incredible dessert. I also recommend making (and baking 8 min) your own graham cracker crust. And ditch the Cool Whip ....use fresh whipped whipping cream instead and you won't regret it. Note: only add 1 tsp powdered sugar to the whipping cream. This adaptation is VERY rich, but has just the right tartness and not overwhelmingly sweet.

This was delicious, and it didn't taste like eating straight cool whip like I was worried it might. I used keylime, lime, and lemon juice. I added slightly less than the recipe calls for and it was just right.

Great summertime recipe. Brought to Fourth of July picnic everyone loved it, especially after a big meal. I only used 3/4 of a cup of key lime juice, otherwise it's way too tart. Easy Key Lime Pie recipe (just leave enough time to set).
