What a disaster, waste of time and money. I followed the recipe every word. Used key limes. The pie was runny. Had a strange taste that I can not describe. The honey and brown sugare caused the crust to stick like glue to the dish. Wish I had made Bobby's Pie instead. I ended up wiath something that we could not eat. It does not deserve 1 STAR.

This is the best key lime pie recipe I had ever made! Just came back from the Keys not too long ago and have been a search for a comparative Key lime pie as down there. And I must say, out of all the one's that I have tried, this has the most authentic and delicious taste. The texture is soft, fluffy, and flavors burst in your mouth without being too overwhelming.
But keep in mind, you HAVE to use key limes, not lemon and lime or any other substitute, otherwise the chemical reaction will not work, and you will find yourself with a runny pie, like others have posted.

This pie is very tasty and I love and highly prefer the light, fluffy consistency of this pie over the more custard-y like key lime pies.

I also had the problem of the filling not getting very thick (it wasn't runny, but just felt very soft, and while it still tasted good from the fridge, I stored it in the freezer to stiffen it up just a bit. I also didn't have any key limes, so I substituted regular limes and added the juice of one lemon for it to more closely resemble key limes. The addition of the pineapple and coconut really add to the pie and give a great taste and texture.

Overall just a great recipe. If you don't mind freezing the pie, continue as the recipe states...if you prefer a thicker pie out of the fridge, you might just have to make some adjustments.

I made this today and the flavor came out great, but my texture was not so great. It did not get firm/thick enough. I followed the recipe, adding the lime juice slowly and careful not to stir to much, let it set for at least 3 hours. So I'm not sure what else I could have done. I wish it came out perfect! I cheated on the crust and used Trader Joe's graham crackers and just added butter. I do it all the time with my cheesecake and love it!

I loved the overall flavor of this pie - and the fact that it was a no-bake dessert! The creamy texture and perfect tartness of lime was the best part. I also liked that it was not too sweet. I ran into a few problems, though. I couldn't get the honey to incorporate well into the bread crumbs. The result were "rocks" of honey interspersed throughout the crust. Because of this, the remainder of the crust did not hold together well.

I loved the flavor of pineapple in the filling. While I did not mind the little bits of crushed pineapple, my family did not like the texture. If I make this again, I might try pureeing the pineapple.
