Thanks for your comments, but the problem is I have never seen Key lime juice here in England in our juice aisles, and I wouldn’t want to go to the expense of shipping products over from the States. The Edwards brand you mentioned is not available here, but to be honest, I don’t like eating commercially prepared desserts. I’m strictly a home bake from scratch person, however if the opportunity ever arises I will be sure to try real Key lime pie (home made of course!), thank you for your interest and suggestions.

madeitwithlove Look in your supermarket in the juice aisle for bottled Key lime juice. Better, bigger stores should have it. Chris is right when she says real Key limes are small and hard to juice. A pretty authentic Key lime pie is produced by Edward’s, and is available in the frozen pie section here in the States. You could also Google for a shop in Florida that will ship an authentic Key lime pie to you overnight.

I’d love to taste real Key lime pie, but in the absence of Key limes we just have to make do with what is available. I’ve never ever seen Key limes in the UK, so I guess I will never know how the real deal tastes!

If you have ever been to the Florida Keys and tasted a real, authentic Key lime pie, then you would know what I am saying. Persian limes don’t taste the same as Key limes. The pie made with Persian limes may taste great, but it won’t taste like an authentic Key lime pie. It will just be a lime pie. There is a difference and it is misleading to your readers to call it a Key lime pie when it is not made with Key limes.

Fresh key limes were used in this recipe, but seeing that they are small and you need a lot of them, we indicate you can use regular limes (this is what most people will do anyway). Regular limes work just fine, and in my opinion, are spectacular in this recipe.

It’s not a key lime pie unless you use KEY lime juice. It’s just a lime pie. Key limes are as small as marbles, are very hard and the skin is yellowish. There is a season for them, just a few months, they are not always available You can buy the key lime juice bottled in the grocery store, but is has to be KEY Lime juice. Otherwise it is not an authentic key lime pie.

Hi Elvis,
This pie does need to be frozen. If refrigerated, it will likely deflate and make a big mess (it will still taste great though!).

Can I make the pie without freezing it?
Usually I make a cool whip based key lime pie recipe which you refrigerate.
