36 Reviews of Easy Key Lime Pie

From: Jeane R

On Dec 31, 2002

This is an ancient recipe, and a golden one. Double the recipe and you won't have to worry about splitting the smaller tub of CoolWhip. These pies freeze beutifully. Making two is just as easy as one, and you can freeze one for that unexpected company. Using a grahm crust is the traditional way. As Key Limes are rare in every part of the country except South Florida (Florida Native here, and I still haven't actually used one. So much for purity) you can buy Nelly and Joe's Key Lime juice which is excellent. The more you whip this, the thicker it will become, and I would strongly suggest you chill it overnight for serving purposes. Otherwise it will wilt and melt quickly. This is the best recipe and No Eggs!

    This is the recipe I have been looking for. Easy and no use of eggs or baking. Not that there is someting wrong with baking, I just needed something quick, easy and has a good taste. I found it in this recipe. My husand will be so surprised when he gets home and I have made him his favorite pie. I hope he doesn't mind that I have already taken a taste of it !!!!! Thank you,

    This gets full marks for being quick and easy. I used fresh lime juice, and it had a tangy taste, but still very sweet. I would have preferred a firmer pie — I put it in the freezer instead of the fridge for an hour, and that helped.

    This is a fantastic tasting light key-lime pie. Even if you can't find Key Lime Juice, it's still tastes great.

    I have made this before but I used all fat free ingredients. Except for the the lime juice, I used limeaid in the frozen juice isle. Works great, tastes just as good. I make it all the time for people at church!

    As every else says, making this desset is beyond easy and the taste is great. I used the Oreo crust and followed the recipe to the letter. It set up wonderfully and held form on the plate. For what it's worth, it took me about 16 key limes to get the half-cup of juice.

    I can't believe how easy and delicious this was! I'm not usually one to make Cool Whip type recipes, but decided to give this a go for a quick dessert for my kids. I am impressed! This recipe is good enough to serve to company. Yum!!!

    Yummy! This was very easy and fun to make. I was just a little short on the key lime juice. I bought 10 key limes, but 15 would have been better. It still turned out great.

    Excellent pie and super easy. Highly recommend. I used real lime juice and garnished with lime zest and even put some zest in the pie - really made it zippy.
