Sara, that’s what I’ve been told. The traditional recipe must have condensed milk. I’ve never had the key lime pie in Florida when I was there (and I wish I had!), so I can’t really compare the two. However, I can assure you that this version of the pie is quite delightful. Let me know if you try it. Thanks!

Key limes are grown in the Florida Keys, hence the name. And GOOD key lime pie should be a good balance of sweet and tart. I was born in Florida and lived there for almost 28 years before moving to Dallas, and a good key lime is one of the things I miss most. That, and fresh seafood. :) The key lime pie purist in me is struggling with your recipe because the pie has always been made with sweetened condensed milk; before modern refrigeration transportation methods were available to the residents in the Keys, canned sweetened condensed milk was much easier to obtain. However, the adventurous foodie in me will probably overpower the snobby Floridian within my head and make your recipe, because I have yet to find a traditional key lime pie recipe that meets my sweet-tart balance and texture standards. Thanks for giving me something different to try!

I just picked a bowl of key limes from my tree…in Arkansas. Yes, I had to finally bring it in as cold weather makes it into the area. I will be making this key lime pie for Thanksgiving dinner!

[...] cookie shells, but I made up for it with a very flavorful filling of lemon curd, by my recent Key Lime Meringue Pie. I made lemon curd thickened with cornstarch. It was good, but not good enough to post. I still [...]

I’m from the Caribbean and I am not sure what a key lime is? These look like the limes I get. Do they turn yellow and slightly less acidic when ripe? I love lime curd so I’m guessing I would love this pie.
