Just 5 Ingredients to Paradise: How to Make an Authentic Key Lime Pie at Home

Even though it’s usually the entire country’s cuisine that gains popularity outside of this country, its regions can also have their own dishes that tourists from across the world are dying to try. Florida’s traditional key lime pie isn’t an exception, since it’s been taking the world by storm for the past couple of decades.

In fact, this pie is extremely easy to make and doesn’t require more than 5 ingredients. If you want to pay a virtual visit to Florida without actually leaving your house, here’s an instruction on how to do it.

Ingredients: 4 limes, 250 g of cookies, 100 g of butter, a can of condensed milk, 5 eggs.

Crumble the cookies into crumbs. Add the butter and mix well.

Press the mixture into the pan using a fork, then press down firmly with your hand.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. (We’ll only need the yolks.) Add the condensed milk to the yolks and mix thoroughly. Add the zest of two limes.

Squeeze the juice from 4 limes, add it to the yolks and zest.

Now pour the mixture into the pan. Bake for 20–30 minutes at 180°C.

Let it cool completely before cutting.
