FAQ
Q: Can I use regular limes instead of key limes?
Yes. While key limes offer a unique tang, regular limes are a fine substitute and still produce a delicious pie.
Q: How long does the pie need to chill?
At least 4 hours is recommended, but overnight chilling gives the best texture.
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely. It’s an ideal make-ahead dessert for parties or family dinners.
Q: Is this pie freezer-friendly?
Freezing is not recommended due to the whipped topping. If necessary, freeze without the topping and add it fresh before serving.
