This key lime pie is smooth, creamy, and incredibly delicious! I made a homemade graham cracker crust for the pie, but you could use a store-bought crust. Or bake your favorite pastry pie shell. The filling takes all of 5 minutes to whip up using thawed whipped topping, key lime juice, and sweetened condensed milk. I add some lime zest for a little extra color, but that’s entirely optional.
It’s also an excellent frozen pie, perfect for hot summer days! If you plan to serve it frozen, give it at least 2 to 3 hours in the freezer.
How To Store
