The filling was not enough to fill up my 10-inch graham cracker crust according to this recipe. It went halfway. If I had another can of condensed milk, I would totally double the filling. Glad that I had some cool whip in the fridge, so I filled the crust up with that and served. So easy and delicious!

This is the recipe off of the Nellie and Joe's Key Lime Juice bottle. I was nervous making it because I had to use Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipe #14062 instead of the purchased sweetened condensed milk. But the recipe worked great. I had to bake my pie about 10 minutes longer (for a total of 25 minutes) than this recipe states. It set up well in the refrigerator for 1 day. I did not add any green food coloring to the filling. The filling turned out a very pretty lemony yellow color.

This was super easy to make and quick, which having 3 boys and another on the way is vital to me. I added some green food coloring, and as I didn't have any key lime juice I just used regular lime juice. I know it's not the same, but the kids kept asking for more and I had to force my self to stop at one slice. Very Good!

Very authentic . . . creamy and no artificial coloring, just like Nellie makes in Key West! Using KEY LIMES are the key to success for this recipe!
