If you've done any amount of searching on the web for Key Lime Pie Recipes, you'll find that there are many variations. Some don't even use eggs! I'm sorry, but I can't call it a Key Lime Pie if there are no eggs in it. It's just wrong!

So, what I've set out to do is give you, what I feel, are the best tasting Key Lime Pie Recipes. Not only am I giving you the recipe, I'm going to make it as well. After all, nothing tastes good on paper. You've got to try it for yourself!

As I find time to bake these delicious deserts, I will put up a new page for each recipe and give my review.

One of the first things to remember is that there is a difference between the typical green Limes that you see all the time at your grocery store. A Key Lime is a little smaller than a golf ball and has a much more tart flavor.

As you can see, there's a pretty good size difference. This little lime packs quite a punch. The Persian Lime doesn't taste the same and does not make a good substitute for a Key Lime.

Here in South Florida, I don't have too much trouble finding these at my local grocery store (Publix). But I've heard that in other parts of the country, such as the mid-west, it's a little harder. You may have to look in the ethnic foods section to find these little gems.

Their season can be classified as year-round but the main season runs from June-September. Just in time for the summer!
