I do think the lime juice and the fragrant lime zest help cut into some of the sweetness from the condensed milk better than the lemon version. However, I didn’t mind the sweetness because that is how key lime pie has always been for me. Similar to the lemon version, this pie is very sweet. It will not be as sturdy as a baked version with eggs, but it does have a texture like a creamy custard. When the lime juice is mixed with the condensed milk, it thickens the condensed milk to a custard-like consistency. Because it’s a similar set of ingredients, it ends up tasting very much like a traditional key lime pie. Key lime pie is usually made with condensed milk, limes and eggs. It has a similar texture, but I actually prefer this lime version even more because it tastes so similar to regular key lime pie. This pie was inspired by the 2 Ingredient No Bake Lemon Pie I previously shared. You can always make your own crust as well.

Graham cracker pie crust: To make this recipe even simpler, I used a pre-made graham cracker pie crust. When the milk is mixed with the lime juice, it actually thickens the condensed milk to a custard-like consistency. It’s actually much easier because you don’t have to juice as many limes if you use regular limes.Ĭondensed milk: Make sure to use full fat sweetened condensed milk. But you can make this pie with regular limes (Persian limes). Limes: Key lime pie is traditionally made with key limes, which are smaller than regular limes (the smaller limes you see in the photos are key limes) and more aromatic. It’s best served chilled, making it the perfect summer dessert. You only need about 15 minutes to prepare this pie and no baking is required. It can be made ahead of time and is a great dessert to bring to parties. It also doesn’t require any eggs or butter. It tastes just like traditional key lime pie but doesn’t require any baking or cooking. This no bake lime pie is so easy to make.
