Creamy No-Bake Key Lime Pie is the perfect dessert year-round – tangy, sweet, and incredibly easy to make!
My husband loves his mom’s no-bake key lime pie and asks for it every Father’s Day. I lose the recipe every year, so I call her to get it again—and every time, I’m reminded why he loves it. It’s creamy, perfectly tart, and the easiest key lime pie ever!
It’s the perfect old-fashioned dessert made with simple ingredients. I use a store-bought graham cracker crust to keep it easy—you can have it ready in just 10 minutes!
My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
This year, after my usual call to my mother-in-law, I grabbed the ingredients at the store. She always swears by Nellie & Joe’s Famous Key Lime Juice—and funny enough, I finally noticed the recipe printed right on the back of the bottle!
It was the same recipe my mother-in-law nicely repeats to me over the phone every year – I about died laughing! I had no idea that was the recipe she was using.
And it is the best no bake key lime pie recipe! The lime juice makes a huge difference giving this pie the best tart flavor.
