Slice and Serve:
Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, tangy filling with the buttery graham cracker crust and fluffy whipped cream.
Tips for Success:
Key Limes vs. Bottled Juice: Fresh key lime juice is ideal for the most authentic flavor, but bottled key lime juice works well too.
Consistency: Ensure the pie filling is fully set before adding the whipped cream to avoid it sinking into the filling.
Chilling Time: Allowing the pie to chill for several hours or overnight helps the flavors meld and the filling to firm up.
This Key Lime Pie is a crowd-pleaser with its perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors, creamy texture, and buttery crust. Enjoy every delicious bite! 🥧🍋
