❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Key Lime Pie with Nellie and Joe’s Juice
1. Can I use regular lime juice instead of Nellie and Joe’s key lime juice?
You can, but the flavor will be different. Nellie and Joe’s key lime juice has a distinct tartness and floral note that regular lime juice does not have. For an authentic key lime pie, I recommend using the real thing.
2. Why is my key lime pie filling runny?
If your filling is runny, it may not have been baked long enough or it may not have chilled long enough. Make sure you bake it until the center is just set but still jiggly. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up.
3. Can I make this key lime pie ahead of time?
Yes, this pie is perfect for making ahead. You can prepare it up to two days in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Just add the whipped cream topping right before serving.
4. How do I get a clean slice of key lime pie?
For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between each cut. You can also run the knife under hot water and dry it before slicing. This helps the knife glide through the filling without sticking.
5. Can I freeze key lime pie?
Yes, you can freeze key lime pie without the whipped cream topping. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. It will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving and add fresh whipped cream.
