Simple Key Lime Pie
My ๐ข๐ฒ๐ถ๐น๐ต๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ is the perfect go to when you need a dessert to please the crowd without taking forever to make with one million ingredients.
A few things before we hit the kitchen:
Pie Crust: If you are short on time or making your own healthier pie crust isnโt your thing, then by all means snag yourself a pre-made one from your local grocery store. No need to bake it before adding the filling.
Key Limes or Limes: This recipe is best using key limes but if you only have limes it is still beyond delicious! Good news is less limes to cut and juice since 1/2 cup of juice will come much quicker with regular limes.
Whipped Cream: Just like the pie crust, you can snag a can of pre-made whipped cream from the grocery. But seriously, you should make it fresh as the taste is a zillion times better!! (And itโs easy to make!)
