A key lime pie recipe offers simple summer sweetness for Father’s Day or any day! With more favorite, simple summer recipes to enjoy!
For some reason I had a hankerin’ to make a key lime pie for Father’s Day. I’d never made one before, but I figured it would involve some kind of stove-top cooked custard for the filling. But when I stumbled onto a recipe that called for just five ingredients and less than 20 minutes of prep time, I knew that was the pie I was looking for!
Easy, little prep and just a few ingredients are always a winner!
Key Lime Pie Recipe and More Simple Summer Sweetness
I couldn’t find key limes, so I just used regular limes. It still tasted great. I served it with fresh vanilla whipped cream (thinking the vanilla-lime combo sounded fantastic – and it was).
You can find the recipe for this super simple pie here.

Nice and cool and delicious! I always love simple and just a few ingredients. Thank you.
Sounds delish! I love anything with sweetened condensed milk….and scraping the inside of the can with a spatula…mmmmm! =)
Have you ever made hot fudge sauce with condensed milk? It is FABulous! 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, microwave until the chocolate is melted & stir it all together. YUM!
Sounds great ans simple enough even for me =)
Sounds yummy (and simple — which I appreciate ;)) Thanks for sharing!
