Key lime pie is a southern classic that everyone loves. Follow the tips below and your pie is bound to come out great every time you make it.
The Limes
Although the name seems to say it all, unless you live in the Florida Keys, you don’t need to use real key limes for this recipes. The ones from the supermarket are not the freshest, so their flavor will not resemble a true Key lime. Rather than spending a ridiculous amount of money on a bag and squeezing 20 small key limes, buy regular limes instead. The end product will not be noticeable and you’ll be able to make it for a fraction of the cost.

Homemade graham cracker crust couldn’t be easier, so go the extra mile and make it yourself. All you do is combine crushed graham crackers, butter, and sugar together, bake it in a pie dish and wait for it to cool. A homemade crust really makes all the difference in this simple recipes.
Decoration
A key lime pie can have various decorations, but the easiest route to go is by simply zesting some lime on the top. It’s not only beautiful, but uses the ingredients you already have on hand so no need to buy anything extra.
