Equal parts creamy and tart, this spin on the classic Key lime pie works just as well with traditional limes as it does with the smaller, sweeter variety.

    This was a super easy, yummy dessert. The hardest part was waiting for it to chill. I used 1/4 cup of sugar in the filling instead of the 1/2 cup the recipe asks for. It was sufficiently sweet:). I may all together leave the sugar out next time.

    I cheated and bought a pre made Graham cracker pie crust, the filling was delicious! Along with the short cut I took!

    Wonderful tart recipe. I omitted the extra 1/2 cup of sugar in the curd and added about 2 tsp of grated Key lime zest.

    This is terrific! Only change I made was to omit the additional sugar to the filling. The sweetened condensed milk is sweet enough to make a delicious tangy tart!

    Very simple! Used a pate sucree crust, as I had some on hand - turned out great. I also dolloped some creme fraiche on top and swirled it around; found in another tart recipe. looks good

    This recipe is uncommonly easy and tastes like our favorite restraunt's Key Lime Pie! The only tip I have is to make sure that the filling does not bubble in the oven because it does not make the tart look very pretty in the end. My solution was to cover it with whipped cream. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

    One of the easiest desserts I've ever made. You can also use limes or lemons if you can't get your hands on key limes. Can be made the day / night before if you are too busy.

    This was delicious. It kept well in the refrigerator for 4 days and it tasted as good as the first day
