Description

Creamy Nellie and Joe’s Key Lime Pie recipe made with condensed milk, egg yolks, and lime juice — a tangy family favorite dessert.


Ingredients

  • ½ cup Nellie and Joe’s Key Lime Juice
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 prepared graham cracker or vanilla wafer crust
  • Optional toppings – whipped cream, Cool Whip, or meringue

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush 1½ cups graham crackers or Nilla wafers. Mix with 6 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes, or chill if making no-bake.
  2. Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in ½ cup Nellie and Joe’s Key Lime Juice.
  3. Bake the pie: Pour filling into the prepared crust. Bake at 325–350°F for about 15 minutes, until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  4. Chill and set: Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 3 hours.
  5. Top before serving: Add whipped cream, Cool Whip, or meringue. Garnish with zest or lime slices.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Cut into wedges or portion into bars, mini pies, or single-serving cups.
