Notes
Recipe Tips
- Use real butter, not margarine or shortening (and definitely not vegetable oil).
- If you don't have or can't find key lime juice, you can substitute for lime juice. They taste will be a bit different and not as tart.
- Don't have graham cracker crust? Can use regular graham crackers, just make sure they are finely crushed. A food processor works good in doing so.
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to four days. To freeze: put in an airtight container and store in freezer for up to one month. Allow to thaw overnight in the fridge before consuming.
