"This pie recipe combines simple ingredients, including sweetened condensed milk, Key lime juice ( which is not the same as regular lime juice), and egg yolks, into a pre-made graham cracker pie crust. Its recipe appears to be very similar to what's served at the actual Margaritaville locations, though there is no way to tell if it's an exact replica. The brand claims that these pies are made from scratch daily (thus come in limited quantities)."
"You can also add your own creative spin on the Margaritaville recipe by stirring in a thickener like sour cream. Not only will it make the mouthfeel more decadent, but the sourness of the dairy will be a great contrast to the freshness of the lime. Serve each slice with a dollop of homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of Key lime zest for a slice that looks as good as it tastes."
A simple Key lime pie can be made with sweetened condensed milk, Key lime juice, egg yolks, and a pre-made graham cracker crust for an easy, tropical dessert. The simplified recipe captures flavors similar to Margaritaville pies and offers a budget-friendly homemade alternative to pricey slices. Bakers seeking a more advanced pie can add a torched meringue topping and use a homemade crust for elevated presentation. The crumb crust can be varied with cookies like gingersnaps and spices such as cinnamon. Stirring in sour cream improves mouthfeel and tang; finish with whipped cream and Key lime zest.
