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.

For Thanksgiving this year, I had an unconventional request for Key Lime Pie (something I’d never made before) as one of the desserts. I found actual whole key limes in my grocery store, so I picked those up instead of regular limes or any kind of juice.
I too had a bit of trouble with the crust; it just wasn’t coming together for me and I think I ended up adding a little too much butter to try to compensate, but that’s my fault. Other than that and the time consuming procees of juicing those little bitty Key Limes by hand, this pie was very easy to make. When it was done cooking it was a good combination of tart and sweet.
I think I’d echo Ree’s advice about not using plain ole’ Cool Whip on this one, but it’s up to personal taste. I made the pie Wednesday night and we ate it on Thursday; on Thursday I had a slice of pie with Cool Whip on it and the Cool Whip made the pie taste like Fruit Loops Cereal! But on Friday I did the same thing and it didn’t taste like Fruit Loops, so…I don’t know, LOL. With or without, it was a really good pie and it was the first of our Thanksgiving meal items to disappear…no leftovers!

So quick. So easy. So delicious.
I didn’t bother counting out crackers and just made my usual graham cracker crust recipe.
This one is definitely a ‘keeper’ recipe.

Made it several times now and it’s a big hit every time. I’ve made it with key limes, regular limes and once with lemons and it was absolutely delicious every time! Thank you!

We have made this pie for over 60 years…BUT………we have always used lemon ( that’s our family’s favorite )
This pie couldn’t be easier or quicker and always turns out great . My children ( even daughters-in-law ) always ask for this when the holidays roll around .
Hope you try it and enjoy……………
