Although this pie is refreshing enough to hit the spot on a hot summer’s day, winter is citrus season, making this a more affordable time of year to make it. Not only that, sweetened condensed milk goes on sale for the holidays, too. It’s almost as though the grocery stores want us to make key lime pie in December.
If you have access to key limes, use them. If, however, you count yourself lucky just to find larger limes on sale, don’t hesitate to use those instead. Many key lime pies are no bake, but this one needs a zap in the oven to reach perfection. It is by far my favorite recipe for this delicious pie.
