This sweet and tangy Key Lime Pie has a graham cracker crust and a smooth and creamy filling made with key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and protein-rich Greek yogurt. It’s a deliciously refreshing, not-too-sweet pie with a light and airy texture that just melts in your mouth.

Why this is the BEST Key Lime Pie Recipe. Ever.

I am a total sucker for citrus desserts. Especially during the warmer months, it’s such a deliciously light and refreshing way to finish the meal. Every key lime pie recipe I’ve tried over the years never quite hit the mark for me. They were either cloyingly sweet, or overly tangy.

This Key Lime Pie recipe is none of those things. It’s not too sweet, not too tart, and the addition of greek yogurt gives it a light and creamy texture that is almost impossible to stop eating. Plus- it only calls for a handful of ingredients and couldn’t be easier to make. So whether you are feeding guests or simply need a midweek pick me up… this Key Lime Pie is always the answer. Let’s get baking!

Ingredients you’ll need for this Key Lime Pie:

• Graham Cracker Crust
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Key Lime Juice
• Plain Greek Yogurt
• Lime Zest

How To Make Key Lime Pie:

1. Make the filling. Pour the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, and greek yogurt into a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
2. Grab your crust. Pour the key lime pie mixture into a homemade or store bought graham cracker crust.
3. Bake. Bake the pie in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Just long enough to see tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface and the pie begins to set.
4. Chill. Transfer the pie to a cooling rack. Once cool, move to the refrigerator to chill thoroughly before serving.
5. Serve. Top with whipped cream and fresh lime slices if desired. Dig in!!

Tips & Suggestions

Why is my pie crust soggy?

Make sure that you pre-bake your pie crust. This isn’t entirely necessary for a lot of pie recipes that call for a graham cracker crust, it will help prevent a soggy crust when making a pie with a wet filling. Store bought graham cracker crusts are already pre-baked, so you can skip this step.

Can you substitute lime juice for key lime juice?

Absolutely! Key limes are not quite as tart and slightly more aromatic than regular limes, but I’ve used both and it’s delicious either way. Fresh lime juice is a much better alternative than bottled key lime juice.

How long does key lime pie last in the refrigerator?

Your key lime pie will stay good for up to 5 days when well-covered. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Freeze individual slices for a quick treat, or freeze whole pies when you need a last minute dessert.

More serving and substitution ideas:

• Make a Lemon Pie by using lemon juice and zest instead of lime.
• Make individual parfaits by pouring the filling (baking isn’t necessary) into dishes and topping with crushed graham crackers.
• Sour cream can be used in place of greek yogurt.
• Use a large piping bag to add decorative whipped cream swirls to your pie for a fun presentation.
