This Lime pie is screaming summer. This is absolutely everything you need to chill in the garden with a super refreshing pie that will cool you down and keep you fresh for the next couple of hours. What I love the most about this recipe is that it’s not requiring any baking. Make that delicious graham cracker crust and enjoy the beautiful filling when set and chilled.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 ½ cup ground biscuits
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pie Filling

  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 packet unflavored beef gelatin
  • 4 eggs separated
  • ¾ cup sugar divided
  • ½ cup fresh key lime juice
  • 2 tsp key lime zest
  • ½ tsp salt

Directions

Key Lime Pie

  1. Pour water into a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin on top.
  2. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 15 minutes.
  3. Create a double boiler by bringing a small pot of water to boil.
  4. Using a medium heatproof bowl (that will fit on top of the small pot of water), whisk together egg yolks and ½ cup sugar.
    Whisk Eggs and Sugar
  5. Add lime juice, zest, and salt.

  6. Place the bowl on top of the pot of boiling water.
  7. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and reaches 170• on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
  8. Remove the bowl from the heat.
  9. Whisk in gelatin until the mixture is smooth.
  10. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
  11. Set aside to cool for 30 to 40 minutes.
  12. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer or stand mixer on medium-low speed until frothy, a few minutes.
  13. Add remaining ¼ cup sugar and increase speed to medium-high. Beat until egg whites form stiff peaks, about 8 minutes.
  14. Gently fold the egg whites into the lime mixture.
