Terry's Famous Homemade Key Lime Pie

By Addie

Made from the juice of the Florida Keys' key limes, key lime pie is a no-bake sweet-tart treat whose filling naturally thickens when condensed milk and acidic lime juice react. Fill a store-bought graham cracker crust with the mixture, refrigerate, top with whipped cream, and voila, dessert is ready!

Ingredients

• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 6 ounces non-dairy topping
• 1/2 cup key lime pie juice
• 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
• Whipped cream, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the condensed milk with the non-dairy topping on medium speed until blended. Add the key lime pie juice. Blend well. Pour into the graham cracker pie crust. Refrigerate 3 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream. Enjoy!

REVIEWS:

Made this pie for my mother-in-law and she loved it, as did I. It was so quick & easy and its a much healthier version bc eggs are not used. She is a key lime pie expert and she loved it.

This recipe is OK for a lite pie but it's not a correct Florida Key Lime Pie. Instead of using the "topping" mixed in with the condensed milk and lime juice use 3-4 egg yolks instead; folded into the lime juice and milk, and poured into a basic ready-made graham cracker crust. (NEVER a flour crust Refrigerate 3-4 hours. I also don't know what key lime pie juice is, but REAL key limes should be squeezed. Very few bottled juices are 100% juice, though they may state that. A dollop of whipped cream MAY be served on top of a slice. NEVER add green food coloring to this pie filling.

This is the best Key Lime pie in the state of Florida! What the recipe calls "key lime pie juice" is actually 1/4 c lemon juice and 1/4 c key lime juice. Bob Roth's sells bottles of it (I have 3 in my pantry right now but if you have the citrus you can fresh squeeze your own.
