Notes
Nutty Key Lime Pie. Follow the standard preparation method, but sprinkle the filling with a quarter cup of finely chopped macadamia nuts or roasted almonds. For textural contrast, sprinkle with roasted nuts.
Chocolate-Drizzled Key Lime Pie. Follow the directions to a T, but before chilling, sprinkle melted dark chocolate over the top.
Dessert Of Key Lime Cream Pie. The graham cracker crust is swapped out for a conventional pastry crust, and the heavy cream topping is whipped to stiff peaks in a stand mixer for an appealing creaminess.
Coconut-Lime Pie. Make the filling by combining shredded coconut with a pre-made graham cracker crust. Sprinkle with toasted coconut and squeeze some lime juice on top.
Key Lime Meringue Pie. Just put a meringue topping over the classic recipe. Whip egg whites until they form firm peaks, then gently fold in the 1/4 cup of confectioners’ sugar. Spread over the pie and bake for 12 minutes at 350F.
Key Lime Pie Bars. The graham cracker crust can be used to line a 9×13-inch pan instead of a pie plate. Bake for 20 minutes after the filling has been poured on the crust. Once they have cooled, cut them into bars and serve.
Key Lime Pie Cheesecake. Prepare the recipe as directed, except spread a layer of melted cream cheese in the bottom of the crust before adding the filling. Prepare as directed; top each serving with a dollop of whipped topping before serving.
