"This recipe uses condensed milk and sour cream. Fabulously easy. . . a summertime favorite! If you have time, a homemade graham cracker crust is better! Garnish with whipped cream and thin slices of lime if you like."

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to use 3 cups or 3 cans of sweetened condensed milk. I used 3 cans though, and I had way more pie filling than necessary. I also had trouble telling when the pie was bubbling. The pie was awesome though, easy to put together, and great tasting. Held up well when out of the fridge for a few hours. Will definetly make again.

This pie turned out great, I used two cans of condensed milk which turned out to be close to 3 cups. I purchased 20 keylimes which turned out to be exactly 3/4 cup of lime juice. I never got any bubbles while cooking, so I think I ended up cooking it for approx10 minutes before taking it out. Everyone wanted the recipe, so good and easy.

I love this recipe. I am from Florida and have had many key lime pies when visiting key west. This is the most authentic tasting pie I have ever made at home. What is best is that it is SO SIMPLE! You can literally whip it up in no time. I used home made whipped topping (heavy whipping cream with a touch of sugar and vanilla) and spread it over the entire pie. I made this for my husbands birthday dinner party. I have since made this pie 3 more times. Everytime we are invited to dinner friends ask me to make this pie for them, it is PERFECT! Do not try another key lime pie recipe on this site, this is the only one you need!

My second review after making (and sharing) about three pies. Awesome, awesome recipe, and couldn't be easier!! I found that two 14-oz. cans of condensed milk was perfect - I can't imagine using three. I also didn't bother with the zest and didn't feel the lack. Nice, creamy and tart pie. So good it makes ya want to slap your mamma!

This was a nice, easy recipe once I got the limes juiced. I used the full amount of sweetened condensed milk. However, when it came to the limes, it took me 30 limes to get 3/4 cup (instead of 20). I wish I had only used 20 because the lime taste was overpowering.

I think this is a 10 star recipe! It makes a beautiful pie, so simple to make, and absolutely delicious. I made two Key Lime pies, one with egg whites folded in and this recipe. This one stole the show. It was prettier and creamier. I added about 1 1/2 ounce of lime jello for color and flavor but I heard that a true key lime does not have green coloring. I found the key lime juice in the juice section at one grocery store and the liquor section at another. I cannot imagine someone squeezing 20 key limes! I think I baked it for 15 minutes - those pin holes were hard to detect!

Very good. I took the other reviewer's suggestion to squeeze the limes with a garlic press. It still took forever. And I couldn't get those little things to zest either. So I added a little extra juice. I wish I had taken the extra time to make a homemade crust as the store-bought one did not do justice to the homemade lime filling.

This recipe was my second choice, but should have been my first!! I made two pies for Easter from a different recipe that called for eggs, and we hated them! They were dense and heavy, more li
