Debe, Your Lime Pie is to die for. I thought it was very delicous. It has that little extra bit of lime but yet is not overpowering. I even rated it above any other Key Lime Pie that I have tried. I could not believe how easy it was to make also. I am definitely keeping this one in my collection. Thanks for sharing..

This pie was very refreshing and unusual... tart but fruity and good! It did indeed have a creamy "cheese cake-like" consistency, just as another reviewer described. This description was what drew me to this recipe above the others on this site, and I'm very glad that it did! The simplicity and speed of the recipe was a great bonus. I will be making this for church dinners and family gatherings, to be sure!

Very easy to make, this recipe has a cheese cake-like consistency and a delicious lime flavor, especially good served from the fridge.
