Persian Lime Pie

 

A cold and refreshing no-bake dessert.  Easy to make with a few ingredients. Persian limes are affordable and taste “very similar” to more expensive key limes.

It would take 18-20 key limes to make this pie. Only 6 to 8 Persian limes are required.   Both have a similar taste in my opinion.   For more info on their differences, read this helpful article from Cooks Illustrated.


The filling is no-bake.  However, the graham cracker crust is brushed with an egg white and baked for 5 minutes.  This makes the crust firm so it holds the filling without getting soggy.

Enjoy!
