Amazing. This was the first recipe I ever added to my Tasty Kitchen Recipe box and tried – and I’ve probably made it six or seven times now. So easy! Devilishly delicious. Wow.

Yummy! I can only apply my rating to the filling part of this recipe since I used my usual pie crust, but it was delicious, easy and pretty enough for me to make it twice in one week. The second time, I mixed up the filling and let it stand for half an hour or so while I was parbaking my crust, and it seemed to thicken up and set a little better after its rest. This is one terrific pie.

This is the first recipe of Ree’s that has slightly disappointed me. The filling was delicious and flavorful. Five mitts for the filling.
The crust, on the other hand, gets two mitts. I forwent my tried and true graham cracker crust recipe to try Rees and there just wasn’t enough butter to get things to stick, and the graham ratio to filling was too much for my liking. The crust was too fragile and crumbled all over the place. I’ll make the filling again but will stick to my own crust recipe.

We baked this pie over the weekend and the flavor was just out of this world. After a bit of trouble with the crust (which was more my fault than anything else) a delicious pie was born and all in all, it was really easy to prepare.

I made this pie a couple of weeks ago and also had some trouble with the crust. The taste made up for it though! Fantastic!

I made this when Ree first posted it and I too had trouble with the crust. (Glad it wasn’t just me!) I used 18 of the large (whole) squares of graham cracker instead of breaking off 18 of the small perforated rectangles that I think would have been plenty, possibly?…anyway it did taste great and was enjoyed by all AND the silver lining was that I had enough graham cracker crust to make another entire pie.

I’ve made this recipe and it is absolutely DELISH. Most people say its the best key lime pie they’ve ever had. This recipe does make a LOT of crust though, so if you want a slightly firmer crust (one that won’t break up when you’re cutting the pie, for example) I would recommend to decrease slightly the amount of graham crackers and increase slightly the amount of butter… all & all an EXCELLENT recipe though. I love garnishing with an off-center lime wedge, so rustic!

This pie is the best key lime pie I have ever made. It was a huge hit at the family party!! I made it with regular limes & another time with key limes. I can’t make up my mind about which was better…I guess I better make it again!

I was in a huge hurry so decided to use a prepared graham cracker crust instead of making the one suggested. Even with the store-bought crust, this pie got rave reviews from my family. Great flavor, and easy to make!

This pie is delicious and a total crowd favourite. Not to be eaten all in one sitting …. although have tried and felt ill but still made it again and again and again. Crust also a bit crumbly, and not as large as thought it should be, confusion over size of graham crackers, ours are singles not the big squares of 4.

I’ve made this twice since Ree posted on her site, and I must say it’s good! I did tweak it just a bit by adding a cup of powdered sugar, and I also used a storebought graham cracker crust. It turned out yummy! Great recipe!

I made this pie the night before last and tried it last night. One word for the recipe…DIVINE! My mom can’t wait to try it since I made such a big deal about it. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

I made this pie with regular limes and then again with store-bought key lime juice. Each time it was just so delicious and SO EASY!!! I literally used this recipe about 4 or 5 times since it was posted on PW. I was ordered to not make it again, as my SO ate a lot of it and is now blaming me (and you, Ree) for his weight gain!
