Thanks to my sister-in-law, Laura, for teaching me this super easy and delicious key lime pie recipe. I’d always thought that making this kind
of pie was going to be a major effort, but it’s actually so quick and good it’s ridiculous not to consider it for your next summertime party. It makes me think of the South and would probably go well with another super easy recipe like roasted shrimp.
This recipe uses Nellie and Joe’s famous key lime juice and the recipe is printed right on the label. With only four ingredients that you blend, bake, and refrigerate – I’m not sure you can make a recipe for easy and delicious key lime pie any better.

Oh Lesa, this is a good one- and perfect timing, too:) We’re in the middle of a February thaw, and with the sun shining we started to think of things to bring spring a little closer. There’s nothing like the crispness of a key lime to brighten a perspective! And graham cracker crumb crust? Yummy yum yum… I think your pie will be on the menu this week, thank you!
