      What makes Key Lime Pie different from regular lime pie?

      Key Lime Pie is made with key limes, which are smaller and have a more intense, tangy flavor than regular limes. This gives the pie a unique and distinct taste that sets it apart from other lime pies.

      Can I use regular limes instead of key limes for this recipe?

      Yes, you can use regular limes instead of key limes for this recipe. The flavor will be slightly different and less tangy, but it will still be a delicious pie. Keep in mind that you may need to use more regular lime juice to achieve the same level of tartness as key lime juice.

      Interesting facts about this recipe:

      • The name “key lime” comes from the small, yellow fruit grown in the Florida Keys and is believed to be a hybrid of the Citrus aurantifolia and Citrus micrantha.
      • The key lime pie was not considered a dessert, and it was often considered a breakfast dish as it was easy to prepare and a good source of calcium and Vitamin C.
      • Key Lime Pie officially declared the state pie of Florida in 2006.
