This traditional Key lime pie recipe is as authentic as it gets. I am a Florida native who had Key lime trees in the back yard. A real Key lime pie is plain and simple. This is the recipe I grew up with. I hope you like it.
Ingredients
- 2 cans sweetened condensed milk , 14 ounce
- 4 jumbos egg yolks
- 0.5 cups Key lime juice
- 1 graham cracker crust , 8 inch
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Whisk condensed milk and egg yolks together in a large mixing bowl. Mix in Key lime juice; mixture will be thin at first but will thicken as it is whisked. Whisk until smooth and thick. Pour into the graham cracker crust.

Pumpkin Chai Latte Bars
These pumpkin chai latte bars are pumpkin-pie-like bars that sit atop a buttery shortbread crust, and get an extra boost of flavor from Chai tea. These require a good amount of time in the fridge, so plan ahead.
