My father in law always picks up the key limes when they return to the store so that I can make this.

Oh.my.gosh. this pie was the BEST key lime pie I've ever eaten! It was easy to make and way too easy to eat...all-the-time. I wouldn't change one thing about the recipe as it turns out perfect every time. I do double it so I can make 2 pies at once because one is never enough! Try it, you will NOT regret it! One more thing...one time I didn't have almonds so I made the pie without and it was still sooooo yummy, so those with allergies to nuts can still enjoy this pie!

Please separate ingredients into CRUST, FILLING and TOPPING sections. I almost dumped everything together for the "Crust" before doing a double-take on the list. That may have been interesting though....

My husband loves Key Lime Pie and I hadn't found the "to die for" recipe until I discovered this! But rather than make it in a smaller pie plate I used a deep 10" plate. It requires 3 recipes of the filling and I increases the crust ingredients by 1/3. You need to bake about 25 minutes. It turned out great and served more people. It is rich but soooo wonderful! Once everyone tasted it I have had several requests to make it. I have been keeping everything on hand but the limes. It's not hard to do and is always a big hit! I love the recipes Paula, Thanks!!

I recently ate at one of Paula' establishments. Had the wonderful experience of having the chicken pot pie and then this delightful dessert. Oh, I swear you closed your eyes and just thought OMG with every bite. I then had a dinner party and made it. Got rave reviews. I did double the filling to make it a fuller pie but then I probably have larger pie pans. It's the perfect dessert.

My daughter loves key lime pie and I am looking forward to trying this. I have recently been diagnosed with Celiac Disease though so I plan to use gluten free graham style crackers in the crust so that I can enjoy it too! I'll let you know how it turns out.

I couldn't find key lime juice, so I tried it with fresh lime juice and it was great! I also just used a pre-made graham cracker crust and whipped topping instead of fresh (I had it on hand already). It was fabulous!!! It was sooo good that I tried making the SAME pie but using fresh lemon zest and juice that was awesome too!!!

This is REALLY GOOD!!! I used this recipe as a guide for making it a little easier. Although, I know that it would be delicious the orginal way!!! But I actually just used fresh limes instead of the keylimes, a pre-made graham cracker crust, and whipped topping. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!

We ate Uncle Bubba's Key Lime Pie two times at his restaurant and it is to die for. Will make it at home too.

sounds very good & easy recipe to make, appears the first 3 ingredients are for the crust, the rest is for the filling which will be sweet enough. anxious to try this, I use my mother's recipe which uses key lime juice & sweetened condensed milk for the filling but no eggs. thanks for this one!
