Perfect Key Lime Pie Recipe

There are some recipes that are just so much fun to make and this is one of those for me! I LOVE making Key Lime Pie! I am honestly not a big lemon or lime person when it comes to desserts, but there’s something about the flavors and the refreshing ingredients of it all that makes me so happy.

My brother-in-law, Matt, recently got surgery on his back after a really hard year filled with pain and countless doctor’s appointments. He had mentioned a few months ago that he really loves key lime pie, so I thought this could be a perfect way to perk him up a little bit and put a smile on his face!

Jesse, the boys and I took some delicious vietnamese food over and then indulged! Weird combination, I know, but it was oddly satisfying!

Matt is a self-proclaimed Key Lime Pie connoisseur, so when his exact words were, “Lindsey, this pie is seriously insane. I’m impressed.” after he finished scraping his plate clean, I knew that after trying a ton of different varieties, I had finally found the perfect Key Lime Pie recipe!


As the weather begins to change, I’m so excited that I had the opportunity to make this tangy, tart and perfectly sweet summer dessert at least once. I’m sure I will probably squeeze a couple more in for friends and family before Fall actually hits – and I’ll sneak a slice or to for myself, of course. 😉
