Key lime pie
Tart citrus dessert
Key lime pie is a custard pie made with the juice of key limes, egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk, typically topped with whipped cream or meringue.
The filling is tangy and pale yellow—not green, despite what food coloring sometimes suggests.
The dessert originated in the Florida Keys, where the small, aromatic key lime grows: We stopped for key lime pie in Key West.
