Sublime! I have make this recipe twice so far, using Recipe #26205 for the crust. I was lucky to find some limes(they really hard to get here)I am glad I choose to use my precious find on this recipe. the 2nd time I made this recipe using lemons. I have eaten tons of lemon pies,only to push itaway after a few bites because they were so sickly sweet, but not with this pie. It had the just the right contrast of sweet and pucker. Charishma I'm going to be making this pie for years to come. Thank you for sharing. -
This is fantastic! I followed the recipe as written, using fresh key limes as they are in season here. Tangy, sweet - delicious. My husband couldn't wait and sampled it before it had cooled all the way. He wants it again as soon as this pie is gone! -
Simple and quick. I enjoyed this pie wayyyy too much. Made it once with Splenda and even had some lemons and made it into a lemon ice box kinda thing. It was all good.
