Key Lime Pie

This quick and easy key lime pie has a creamy filling with lots of zest and zing, a delicious cookie crust and of course lots of whipped cream! It's a perfect make ahead pie and nearly foolproof! If you don't have key limes you can totally use regular limes.

Your kitchen aesthetic is actually to die for. I SEE your copper pans, beautiful oven and marble counter tops and I appreciate them. Just gonna make it in sims lol. Closest I can get

I just want to give you a warm genuine thank you. I have baked 3 things in my entire life, and you have walked me through every step of each recipe. All of my co-workers are obsessed with this pie, and now all 7 of them want their own individual pie to take home. seriously wonderful content that makes baking easy and accessible to everyone who wants to try. thank you again. Seriously.

WARNING: recipe calls for 21 net weight ounces of condensed milk (or 1 1/2 cans) NOT 21 fluid ounces. I made this last night and used way too much condensed milk. We're having it for dessert tonight so we'll see how it tastes. Coming out of the oven it was not fragrant of key limes. It's not going to taste bad, I just don't think it will be fragrant and zingy. UPDATE: it was delicious. I still want it to be limeyer and zingyer so I'm going to make it again with the right amount of condensed milk and a touch more zest.

I made this pie last year, well made two.☺️ And it is absolutely amazing!
I changed nothing, and I am happy to say I will be baking it again this year!
Thank you for all you do.😊

Dude I made this pie for my mother in law and now I got to make it every year! I’m usually not a fan of key lime but this one was tart enough and tasted fricken amazing!!

[couplegoals]

I made it. It’s the most delicious pie! I recommend to put it in the freezer. At first (3 hours in), it tasted like if I had put more condensed milk than key lime juice. But the next morning it tasted amazing! A very good balance of flavors. God bless you.

Other good cookies for crusts (pies, cheesecakes, etc.)
Trader Joe's "Cookie Thins" in Coconut, Meyer Lemon or Triple Ginger. I especially like using the Triple Ginger ones for pumpkin cheesecake crust. I used the Meyer Lemon ones for a lemon-blueberry cheesecake.
Speculoos cookies (Trader Joe's or others). My sister-in-law requested TJ's Speculoos cookies for the crust for a cheesecake for her birthday. I like to make cheesecake.
Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. They're the cookie part of Oreos, without filling, so you don't have to scrape away the filling. Often sold in the baking section of your market. Use the chocolate wafer cookies for a crust for a peanut butter cheesecake, and then cover with dark chocolate ganache to make a giant dark chocolate peanut butter cup. That was popular.

John, you are like my happy time, I rewatch your videos all the time just to hear you and watch you talk about your great creations! Your delight in the colors and smells makes me happy. Thank you for all the wonderful dishes you make. 😊

You have seriously carried me through this quarantine so far. Honestly one of the most wholesome and good-spirited people I've seen on the internet, the enthusiasm with which you carry your recipes is so nice to see. Started picking up cake decorating again after binging all your videos and soon I'll have the most perfect buttercream roses! After every single video I feel like recreating it immediately and I've never made a key lime pie before, not from the US so it's not really a thing, so I think I'll surprise my sister with this for the weekend! Hope you have a great day, just wanted to express my appreciation 🌞🌞

John is a delight to watch. Explains the joys of key lime pie with panache and perfect diction. Definitely a boost to my day.

[melissacronecarvell]

I had key lime pie in Key West for the first time when I was 10. I’ll never forget it.

[lauriewatson]

This is the absolute best key lime pie recipe. Using the Biscoff cookies really makes it different and much better. I get so many requests for it. Everyone raves about it and it is so easy. Thank you John. You are awesome!

[s.t.]

Key Lime pie is definitely one of THE BEST pies I've ever had! This was almost exactly the way I make mine, just MUCH more whipped cream!!

[learnloveteachrepeat]

That Biscoff cookie crust was a genius combination of flavors 🤤💚

[cookiesnyder]

I love this recipe. It's been a hit every time I make it. The crust is amazing. Much better than the traditional graham cracker crust.

[sgustavsson]

My mom use to make this pie back in the 80’s. Glad to see the classics still live on 👍🏼

[helenmerkis]

John, I just love watching you cook. You are such a positive guy and you make everything look easy. Thank you for being you!!

[haleysmith]

I absolutely love key lime pie but I had never made one, this recipe turned out perfect! It is by far the easiest and most delicious pie I’ve ever made!
