This Easy Key Lime Pie Recipe can be put together in minutes and maybe that’s why I love it so much.
I keep all of the ingredients on hand so this is my go-to when we need to bring a dessert or I want to bring a treat to a friend or neighbor.
Mix up a few basic ingredients, pour them into a prepared pie crust, and chill for an hour.
I love this one to go along with a light dinner, a summer cookout or for something sweet on St. Patrick’s Day when you need a little green.
I usually make two of these easy key lime pies at once, one to keep at home, and one to share with a neighbor, friend or to bring to an event.
They never last long and they are so refreshing and delicious!
EASY Key Lime PIe Ingredients
- 1 8oz. block of cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk

(use key lime juice if you can find it – it makes a huge difference! Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime Juice is our favorite!) - 3 drops of green food coloring (optional – I usually skip this)
- 1 prepared Graham Cracker Pie Crust
How to make this easy Key Lime Pie with REAL Key Lime Juice
- Put the softened cream cheese in a bowl and mix with your hand mixer until creamy. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until combined.
- Add the lime juice and the food coloring. Mix until combined.
- Pour into the pie tin. Refrigerate until set, about an hour.

Additional Tips: 
Like I said above, we LOVE Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime Juice – it’s so yummy, I always keep it on hand. I also love that you can order it from Amazon at a pretty competitive price!
If you are short on time, you can use these pre-made Honey Maid Grahams Pie Crusts OR 
you can make your own using these Nabisco Honey Maid Graham Cracker Crumbs to make your pie in your own pie dish.
Amazon has a huge selection of pie plates.
I actually love giving baked goods as gifts and allowing the recipient the keep the dish that the gift was baked in!
