Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

All things considered, we decided this recipe deserves a spoonacular score of 26%. This score is not so tremendous. Try Baked Key Lime Pie Donuts {Key Lime Blog Party}, Key Lime Pie Cupcakes – Upside-Down Key Lime Pies, and The Secret Ingredient (Key Lime): Key Lime Shrimp Tacos for similar recipes.

Moscato d'Asti, Late Harvest Riesling, and Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Key Lime Pie. Since key lime pie is fairly tart, you can go with any of these sweet wines to balance it out. One wine you could try is Cupcake Vineyards Moscato d'Asti. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

Cupcake Vineyards Moscato d'Asti

Any occasion can be worthy of a toast with our Moscato D'Asti. Vibrant and expressive with dominant floral notes and hints of bright fruit flavors including peach, tropical fruits and lychee. This wine is soft and luscious with just a hint of fine effervescence and sweetness.

Instructions

  1. To make graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 325.
  2. Break up the graham crackers, place in a food processor and process to crumbs. Add the melted butter, sugar and salt and pulse until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan, forming an even layer on the bottom, sides and edge. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool.
  3. To make filling: While the crust is resting, in an electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, whip the egg yolks and lime zest at high speed until fluffy, or 5 to 6 minutes. Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to whip until thick, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice until incorporated.
  4. Pour the mixture into the crust and bake for 15 minutes, or until the filling has just set. Cool on a wire rack, and then refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  5. To make topping: Whip the cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla until nearly stiff. Evenly spread the whipped cream on top of the pie, and place in the freezer for 20 minutes prior to serving.
