EDITOR’S NOTE (December 19, 2019): PIN here on Pinterest.
This chilled no-bake dessert is made with Persians limes instead of key limes. Their tastes are similar. However, Persian limes are larger and less expensive.
About 18-20 key limes required to make this pie. However, only 6 to 8 Persian limes. For more info on their differences, read this helpful article from Cooks Illustrated.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly brush graham cracker crust with egg white. Place in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven. While the crust cools, prepare filling.
- Pour heavy whipping cream into a medium-sized bowl. Use an electric mixer to stir until stiff peaks form (about 10 minutes).
- Zest limes before squeezing for juice.
- Add lime zest, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and sour cream to heavy cream. Stir with spoon until evenly combined.
- Pour mixture into prepared crust. Smooth evenly around crust. To garnish, place 3 sliced limes in center. Add 8 vanilla wafers around center (see photo).
- Cover and refrigerate 4 hours up to overnight.
- FREEZER OPTION. The covered pie can be stored in freezer for at least 4 weeks. Make sure it's in a pie plate safe for freezing. Place in a larger freezer bag. Seal tightly. Thaw at least 30 minutes before serving or longer if necessary.
