Easy Key Lime Pie Recipe

Sometimes you just want an easy “homemade” dessert recipe, and it does not get any easier than this! It really helps that is simply delicious with a slight “tang.” Minimal mess and clean-up are a real bonus.

Note:

There is nothing preventing you from making your own Graham cracker pie crust instead of using a pre-made one. Normally that is 2 cups crushed Graham crackers, 6-8 TBSP butter, 1/2 cup of sugar, combine, and 10-12 minutes in a 350º oven, shallow pie plate. This recipe just takes the easy way using a pre-made crust.
