Key Lime Pie
Growing up in Florida, one of their most famous pies in that state was Key Lime Pie because it was originated in Key West. And of course I was definitely a big fan. Key Lime Pie has the perfect graham cracker crust with a sweet and tart filling then topped with whipped cream to balance out the flavors.
Did I tell you this is one of my favorite pies?? So of course I had to learn how to make it myself after leaving Florida. But still get a slice every time I visit!
Ingredients for Easy Key Lime Pie

- Condensed Milk
- Sour Cream – For a lower fat version, greek yogurt works well as a substitute.
- Lime Juice – Fresh Key Lime juice is best.
- Lime Zest

That’s it! Did I mention how quick & easy this is? Well it is very easy!
