Recipe Tips
- This gluten-free key lime pie works excellent with either the coconut or almond pie crust. I have tried both, and I would lean towards using the almond crust for this pie.
- For the best results, I recommend using fresh lime juice, but if you’re unable to get your hands on some, then bottled will work just fine.
- The pie filling will continue to cook for a while after being removed from the oven. So, don’t stress too much if it looks slightly runny when you pull it out of the oven.
- If you don’t have enough time, then you can always buy a pre-made gluten-free pie crust. These can be difficult to find, but a specialty gluten-free shop should stock them.
- Heavy cream is also known as thickened cream in Australia or double cream in the United Kingdom.
