How to Make Oh So Creamy And Fluffy Key Lime Pie
- Prepare the pie crust: If using a store-bought crust, proceed to step 3. If making your own (or using the gluten-free variation below), prepare the crust according to your chosen recipe and bake as directed. Allow to cool completely.
- Make the key lime filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, lime zest, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. This prevents over-baking and keeps the filling incredibly creamy.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once completely cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely and develop its full flavor.
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and a key lime sauce (optional). Slice and serve chilled.
- **Gluten-Free Crust Variation:** Use a gluten-free pie crust mix according to package directions or create a crust from almond flour, coconut flour, or other gluten-free alternatives.
