Sweet and tangy all at once leaving you wanting more.<\/p>\n This 3 ingredient no-bake key lime pie makes my mouth water just thinking about it!<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n And one 1 graham cracker pie crust.<\/p>\n Enjoy a slice of pie with a dollop of Cool Whip on top or garnish with a lime slice on top! For presentation purposes, you can also make a lime twist for the center of the pie which is a thin slice of the lime peel twisted. This tart and sweet dessert with simple ingredients is perfect for summer months.<\/p>\n What will really make this a key lime pie recipe from Key West is using fresh key limes which are a little more tangy than regular supermarket Persian limes. If you have access to fresh key limes<\/a> at your grocery stores, squeezing them would take this recipe up a notch so feel free to do that and while you are at it, add a 1\/2 teaspoon of key lime zest while you have fresh limes. But if not, don\u2019t sweat it! This recipe works just fine with regular limes or even the pre-squeezed regular lime juice that comes in the lime bottle. That couldn\u2019t be easier and it still works just fine. <\/p>\n You can use a store bought graham cracker crust or you can make a homemade graham cracker crust<\/a> (with just melted butter and graham cracker crumbs). Either way that sweet crunchy crust goes great with the creamy lime filling.<\/p>\n A more traditional key lime pie uses egg yolks but here we use cool whip or heavy cream for a creamier, lighter pie.<\/p>\n You may wish to garnish with lime slices or a swirl of lime peel.<\/p>\n![\"super](\"https:\/\/familyfocusblog.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/01\/easy-key-lime-pie-634x999.jpg.webp\")
