Tomorrow is Pi Day, but I’m sharing this recipe with you a day early to give you time to run out and grab the (minimal,) ingredient list and get everything ready so you can enjoy this deliciousness tomorrow! Now when I say “Easiest Key Lime Pie” I mean it. This recipe couldn’t be more simple, with only 3 ingredients in the filling and 2 in the crust. Throw this sweet/tart pie together tonight and tomorrow you’ll be amazed at how simple it is to bake something so impressive and decadent.
The secret ingredient that takes this pie from good to to die for is actually in the crust. Some recipes call for sugar to be added to crushed graham crackers for the crust, but I wasn’t feeling that. Instead, I simply combined salted butter and graham crackers, (already sweet anyway,) and a pinch more of sea salt. The slightly salty crust combined with the sweet and tart filling is just a match made in heaven.
Happy Pi Day! It’s my favorite (made up but delicious,) holiday!
*If you can't find fresh key limes, bottled key lime juice works great. I have also used fresh lime juice in a pinch.

I had a traumatic experience trying to juice fresh key limes once, hence why I’ve never tried to make a key lime pie (and haven’t even eaten one in YEARS). Which is too bad, because I LOVE key lime flavor. Thanks for the blessing to use bottled juice…now I can make one of these.

Could you please give the equivalent of the graham crackers in crumbs, as that’s the way I buy them. Thanks
