Delicious! It is definitely a task to squeeze out all those key limes, but everyone loved it! Our friends said it tasted and looked like a professionally made gourmet pie!

I ended up with a whole mess of lemons and limes from centerpieces after a wedding and didn't know what to do with them. I was hesitant to try this recipe because there are so few ingredients and it is so simple. I thought anything as amazing as Key Lime pie must be more complicated. Not true! I made a pie about once a day until all the fruit was gone and I was never lacking for people who wanted to take it home with them. I used a 50/50 mixture of fresh lemon and lime juice in place of the key lime juice. It was awesome!

I was looking for a "real" key lime pie recipe but baked with all the concern about salmonella. This was perfect.

I made this pie with my oldest son. We made a homemade graham cracker crust, other than that we made no other changes. This turned out pretty good but I think that I like key lime pies made with egg yolks instead of the whole egg. I think the mouth feel is different, it's creamier. There's nothing wrong with this recipe, it's a personal preferance. The kids and I liked it, though. I served it with whipped cream on top. As with most key lime pies, this pie tastes better the longer it sits.

more like a custard, not creamy

This is pretty much the same recipe as on the Nellie and Joe's key lime juice, except with the lime rind and it doesn't say graham crust. I thought it was awesome, it deserves 5 stars, but i'm giving it 4 because I didn't use the lime rind like this recipe, as I said, I used the recipe on the bottle of Nellie and Joe's key lime juice. Very yummy! =)

I love this pie recipe! I use more lime juice then it called for for the tarter flavor. I use a store-bought "shortbread" crust too and it comes out amazing. It is so so easy and I usually always have these ingredients on hand. I serve with homemade whipped cream. This is always a hit!

This was really tasty! I subbed a reduced fat graham cracker crust and fat-free sw. condensed milk but it was still delicious and has a lovely texture. Very tangy, but still okay to eat without whipped cream.

This is the same recipe that Cook's Illustrated uses. For those of you finding it "grainy", MAKE SURE to blend the lime juice with the condensed milk very well BEFORE you add the eggs. Adding the lime juice directly to the eggs in any way will start to "cook" the eggs from so much acid all at once. This happened to me when I was in a rush one time and just dumped the eggs, condensed milk, and lime juice all at once.
