Yes, she forgot to mentioned that you bake it before topping it. Also, when she made it on TV, she used the whole eggs in the filling not just the yolks. What's up with that? I think that I will stay to my tried and true recipe if there are mistakes here. However, I will try the crust.

I had her key lime Pie from her Restaurant (my fiance works there and brought it home. I have had every Key lime pie I have ever been able to come in to contact with and Paula Deen's Key Lime Pie is the best, Not too tangy, not too creamy, not too firm, Its fluffy, airy, and subtle lime tang with a wonderful cream base. I haven't made it yet because I have unlimited access to the Pie from her Restaurant, but one day, when I don't live in Savannah I will have to make it.
I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO LIVE WITHOUT IT!

Making the pie was hard, but when you squeeze the key limes to get the juice out I suggest using a garlic press. You get so much more juice out of those rock hard limes!!!

I made this pie as an inexperienced cook, being only 18. I absolutely LOVE key lime pie, and living in Arizona made this easy, due to all the lime trees we have. The pie turned out so well, with the slight alterations I made to add my own essence into the pie, that I took it to a dinner party and it was more popular than my mother's infamous homemade peach pie. I only got a small sliver of pie to try i myself, and it was perfect. I even made it for my fiance, who really hates key lime pie, but after trying mine, he fell in love with my version.
Some alterations I made were adding a couple tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon or so of pure Madagascar vanilla extract. I also didn't make a meringue topping, being that I am not a fan of meringue. Instead, I used a whipped topping and sprinkled slivered almonds on top of that as well. It's a sure hit, and with summer coming up, I'm making it plenty of times. I would definitely encourage other readers to try out the alterations I made and see for yourselves!!

Okay first the good stuff---love the crust with the almonds but would add a tad of butter so it would be less crumbly next time. Love the meringue too as it adds that chewy texture I love (looks impressive too. The thing is, either I am missing something or the recipe missed one step. I think it forgot to say "Bake the filling for 30 mins before adding the meringue." (as it states in Paula's other recipes By the time I realized this, I had already put the beautiful meringue on. I sliced through it to check and as expected the filling was still runny. Baking it with the meringue for 15 minutes won't do it. I tried to salvage it by removing the meringue and baking it again but it sure ain't a pretty sight! It did become more delicious a day or two later when everything has set in.

Living in AZ ofen means plenty of lime trees! With that, limes are given to you by every neighbor with a lime tree. : I made this pie for dessert last night, and it was a big hit. I read through many of the comments and made slight changes before I began. I used the homemade whipped cream, instead of the meringue. I liked that suggestion from another reviewer. Also, I added an extra tablespoon of the powered sugar. Both changes made for a GREAT pie. Even my mother-in-law liked it. :

I ended up with lots of crust and not enough filling. It definitely didn't look like the picture.

The taste and texture of the filling was good, though.

I made this for a family gathering over the weekend. There were other desserts brought as well. But what can I say, mine was gone first. I changed it up just a bit. I added a full stick of melted margarine to the crust. That crust could have been a dessert in its self. And, I also used fresh whipped cream instead of meringue. This pie was so easy and so melt in your mouth perfect. Also, go with the Joe and Nellie's fresh key lime juice. You couldn't tell the difference. If you are worried that this pie is difficult to make don't, it was very easy. Make it and reap the rewards of everyone begging you to make it again and again. . . .
