When I was in high school, my great aunt would sometimes come to dinner, and when she did, she would bring a key lime pie for dessert. I probably ate half of it myself! (It&#8217;s fine&#8230;) Once this obsession had planted its roots, I simply <em>had<\/em>\u00a0to find myself the world&#8217;s greatest key lime pie recipe. I&#8217;ve sampled TONS of recipes, and I tell you, this insanely simple, four-ingredient wonder is the best you&#8217;ll find. It&#8217;s incredibly creamy and needs no eggs to reach smooth, citrusy perfection. You can save time and buy a pre-made graham cracker crust, but I always find that making it yourself is <strong>sooo<\/strong> much yummier.\u00a0Every single time I bring it to a gathering, someone asks for the recipe and is shocked to find out how simple it is.
