How to Make Oh So Creamy And Fluffy Key Lime Pie

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. 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.
  7. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and a key lime sauce (optional). Slice and serve chilled.
  8. **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.
