Pro Tip: Not all butter is created equal – fat contents vary – so it is important that the the final uncooked product for the crust is dry and somewhat crumbly. If it is too sticky add in 1 tablespoon of flour until it resembles wet sand.
Lime Juice:
While we know that freshly squeezed juice is always best, it is near impossible to find key limes outside of Florida! You have the option to freshly squeeze key limes if they are available in your area, use regular limes, or use store-bought key lime juice. You can find it in the produce section of your local grocery store.
Graham Cracker Crust Options:
This recipe uses a graham cracker flavored shortbread crust that is game-changing delicious. There is truly no contest between this crust and a store-bought graham crakcer crust. Homemade is always going to taste so much better! However, life happens and sometimes you need a shortcut. You can always substitute with a store-bought graham cracker crust if needed.
Storage Instructions:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The longer this pie sits, the crust will start to turn soft. If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious pie recipes:
