I made this often with fresh key limes when we lived in California, where we had a tree full of them. Now they are hard to get so I use regular limes fresh juice is really the best flavor with either lime! It can be made in the traditional 10 inch pie pan or in 4 -3 inch tart pans as I made in the photo for 4 individual pies

(Ok, so it took me two tries to get this pie done!!..The first time was yesterday morning around 11:00ish I forgot to separate the eggs yolks from the eggs whites, but that was because I had just finished a phone call that was quite exciting, and I was so happy that I just forgot!! The second time around was much later in the afternoon, it was going well until I decided that I needed to take the pie out of the baking pan and place it onto a cake stand and it fell apart…:( But it doesn’t matter it still tasted so good!!! ) 🙂We have been having gorgeous weather since Monday and I have been out almost everyday running errands and just going out with my brother. It is very sunny and bright outside, so what came to mind with such beautiful days…a delicious dessert, what sort of dessert you say; well Lemon of course. 🙂 It was hot, hot, hot, yesterday to much for this time of year, but I shouldn’t complain it was lovely, so making this refreshing Lemon Pie was a good idea because when the weather is hot you need to cool off somehow and a cold dessert is just a perfect idea. (I added a scoop of Lemon Sorbet on mine instead of whipped cream) 🙂 Lemon Pie, Pudding, Lemonade, Pink Lemonade are my utmost favorite especially if these are homemade. This Lemon pie (tart) is truly so simple to make, you won’t need more than a few ingredients to blend together and your done.. easy, tasty, refreshing !! 🙂

This recipe is with my family for years. It tastes great!

This is pretty requested in our household. If you don't have fresh key limes available to you and can't find the bottled key lime juice, you can use regular limes in a pinch. Just keep in mind that they're a little more tart. Recipe Source : Sallys Baking Addiction Cookbook

Honestly this is the best recipe for key lime pie, it's not too sweet and not too sour. It's simple to make and extremely addicting! 😊

Easy lemon pie recipe first thing I learned to cook as a kid

If you like a little lime, this pie is for you!

Nothing says summer like the light citrus flavor of key lime pie! As we are quickly blowing through the summer season it occurred to me, I had not made a key lime pie all season. With thirty minutes to spare and not a single key lime in the house... I pulled together this delicious, gorgeous pie. The meringue is optional but gives such an improvement to the look of an otherwise lifeless looking pie. Also, I do not use food coloring (what's in that stuff anyway) but if synthetic and complicated chemical names are your thing you can green your pie up as you see fit. Regardless of pie color and meringue, this pie is a silky citrus filled treat for any occasion. I hope you enjoy.

My son loves this pie. I make it for him all the time. So easy and delicious!

A cool refreshing dessert
