Hi Christy! If you are using the whipped cream in this recipe, yes it should be perfectly fine. 🙂

Will this whip cream hold up in the fridge overnight and still look good tomorrow?

Sam, made your key lime pie yesterday and it was a huge hit!! I did use the Nellie and Joe Keywest lime juice and it worked out perfectly. My husband said this is a keeper. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us. Can’t wait to try something else out of your tried and true.

Hi Carol! It will work as mini pies, but I’m not sure on a bake time. 🙂

Can I use the same recipie to make mini pies or do I have to modify anything? How long is cook time?

Hi Emily! It may be a little liquidy and may not set right. 🙁

Sam, I accidentally used 2 full cans and only 6 tablespoons of butter. Is it doomed?

In reply to Sue.

Hi Sue! They are going to be really, really small and you will likely end up with too much crust to pie ratio. If you wanted to make them smaller, we would probably recommend using a jumbo muffin tin or even mason jar lids, or you could even try our Key Lime Pie Bars. Since haven’t tried this ourselves, we don’t know about baking times. Hope this helps! 🙂

Hi Sam,

I am just wondering if I could make this recipe in min muffin tins? If so, how long would you recommend I bake them and would I bake them at the same temperature? I can’t wait to try this recipe!

Hi Tina! I typically use a brand called Nellie & Joe’s. 🙂

What brand of bottled key lime juice do you use? Hopefully I can find it around here.

In reply to Lindsey.

Hi Lindsey! I would definitely start by adding a few minutes to your baking time. You can certainly use an electric mixer here. I just haven’t done it because it’s not too hard to mix. This is a pretty thin batter so I wouldn’t worry too much about that. It thickens but it’s a very slight thickening. If it helps you can refer to the video to see what mine looked like. 🙂

Sam, you’ve done it again! The flavor is exactly like the key lime pies I’ve had in Florida. I mis-read the instructions and only baked for 18 minutes, probably should’ve done the full 20. After cooling, the top appeared set. It stayed in the fridge overnight and upon cutting it, the top was set but the rest of the filling was runny. Besides increasing the cooking time, I’m wondering if I can use an electric mixer for the whisking? Is there any reason not to? I’m concerned my batter was a bit on the runny side when poured into the crust.

Hi, Kelsi! No, you should be fine to use your pan. 🙂

My pie pan size is 8.5 not 9.5. Would I need to modify anything?

In reply to Darlene.

Hi Darlene! The key lime pie should actually look pretty yellow when it’s done, much like the pictures. It shouldn’t have a greenish color to it so as long as your pie isn’t dried out and cracking I think you are doing everything right. 🙂

Hi Sam,
I just made 2 key lime pies with your recipe for my daughter’s 21st birthday. We can’t go down south for vacation this year to get key lime pie. I’m curious though why my pies look so much more yellow after they came out of the oven. I thought the color looked great before going in. I cooked it at 350 for 18 minutes as you indicated. My oven temp is accurate. Should I cut down on the time, or lower the oven temp?
