I love the whimsical nature of this episode - from Claire teleporting into spot after helping Archie with his quest to Harris's transforming shirt. This is great.
I know this is a politically incorrect thing to say, but you look terrific in this video! Your top, the gold earrings, hair down - even though you pushed it behind your ears most of the time - fabulous look. And thanks for not admonishing your ginger cat for being in the background at the end of the video.

Harris is such a mood, I'm sure he's just doing home things in a typical old stained Tshirt, but always gets asked to come into camera. The color changing was hilarious.
I really like how Claire is always conscious of not making it too sweet. Sweet is good, sure, but it has to be in balance. And it's real easy to make things too sweet.
I feel like it elevates and differentiates the desserts, especially the more simple or traditional recipes - like classic diner pie versus a professional pasty chef's.
I love a little something sweet at the end of a meal but hate overly sweet stuff. I love that Claire is a chef who balances flavor. I don't have to worry about adjusting her recipes for sweetness. 😊
Made a double batch of this and it turned out amazing. Just the right amount of tart, and the guests ate every last crumb! None of us had ever had key lime pie before (not a thing here in Norway sadly), so we were all really hyped to taste it. Did NOT disappoint. Thank you so much!
Hi Claire, I just made “key lime pie according to Claire Saffits” and it turned out the best ever, according to my children all of whom are adults with incurable sweet tooth. They were raving about it all night and requested pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving so that’s what I’m making. Thank you for sharing your magic in baking with us. It is definitely a rich ingredient in our lives!
Thanks for the two tips on adding an egg yolk to the crust and something like sour cream or cream cheese to the whipping cream. These are life improving tips to the home baker.
I just made this recipe today! The cream cheese was delicious in the whipped cream! I did add a tiny bit of vanilla extract to my whipped cream but that's just personal preference. Very happy with how this whole thing came together
I’m happy to know I’m not the only one who has kitties that get up on our counters. Claire is my baking muse! My husband teases me anytime I make something new by saying, did Claire just release a new video from Dessert Person?
I can’t even explain the happiness I feel seeing this episode, key lime pie is my all-time favourite dessert and seeing your rendition of it just makes me feel so happy!!
When fresh key limes are not available I use Nellie and Joe’s key lime juice but I would never personally use a Persian lime in a key lime pie, but of course I am a Floridian so it’s more important to me than others. I am interested in trying Claire’s topping… it looks like a yummy addition.
I grew up in the Keys.. when the Internet was this new thing we didn't use like we do now. I learned many slightly different Key Lime Pie recipes from my elders. Persian limes will never touch my pies, and Nellie and Joe's is absolutely the way to go if fresh Key Likes can't be had.😁
Was told they don't grow the key limes in the Florida keys anymore. Grew up in Arizona key limes were called Mexican limes. So if you see Mexican limes in the grocery store they are the same as key limes. Don't know I it would taste with Persian limes
I have made this twice for the holiday season and it's always a hit with my family. The incorporation of cream cheese for the topping is brilliant It gives the look of a meringue without the hard work. I also added some salt and vanilla to the topping.
For some reason, custard-based desserts are so intimidating to me but this looks DIVINE and so easy. Definitely going to attempt it before the summer is over!
Once again (as an Australian), I'm ridiculously fascinated by the concept of yet another (culturally unfamiliar) dessert recipe. Subjectively speaking, lime isn't my favourite citrus fruit, but (given the opportunity) I wouldn't hesitate to try (or bake) key lime pie, (if nothing else) to determine the actuality of my indifference towards the aforementioned citrus fruit. Who knows, I might surprise myself! Thank you for sharing, Claire!
I made this recipe and it is the best key lime pie I have ever had! I brought it to my fiance, in-laws and friends who have never had key lime pie before and they loved it. Their first key lime pie experience has set the bar high :)
Looks delicious! I love the quiet silly humor with the teleporting and colorshifting shirt. Nicely understated in a way that really suits the general atmosphere of the show.
I've been waiting for this for so long!! Key lime pie is one of my most favorite things ever, I'm so happy Claire finally did it! Also, that brazilian brand sweet condensed milk 💚
I just made your recipe today and it turned out perfect!!! I wish I could post a picture of it. It was my first time making KLP and I was very excited to enjoy it on a hot day. The whipped cream was delightful! A tip for the whipped cream, USE ROOM TEMP CREAM. it whipped up by hand to stiff peaks in less than five minutes! Cold cream takes at least twice as long to whip, and you don't have to worry about the cream cheese locking up from the cold cream.
I pretty sure half of the views in this video are from me doing this recipe over and over again. It’s SO easy and so delicious. I love seeing the faces of people when they try it, they all love it. Great recipe.
I was having a tough day mentally and this recipe got me out of the house to get the ingredients. It's delicious! The tangy whipped cream was delightful. Thank you!
The editing choices (lil sound effects, teleporting Claire, Harris’s shirt changing colors) make me feel like this whole thing is a bunch of kids lovingly running a channel for their mom who doesn’t actually care how they put it together, she’s just happy they’re getting along
Made this yesterday for Thanksgiving and it was a success!! I used Biscoff cookies instead of graham cracker cookies. My family loved it! Thank you for sharing Claire! I will be using this recipe again in December :D
This my family’s Christmas dessert. The acidity is perfect for the end of a rich meal. We fought over Christmas desserts for years and key lime pie was the one dessert we could all agree on.
Key lime pie is my dad’s favorite. It’s my parents’ 50th anniversary tomorrow, and we are celebrating Sunday. Great timing. I make maple mascarpone whipped cream when I make cranberry trifle, so this makes total sense.
I make this pie only once a year on my brothers birthday, I think I'm more of a "only one bowl" kind of lady, more steps than that are way too many steps, but I try to step out of my comfort zone sometimes. Love from Chile!
Love all your videos. I will be trying this recipe. Last pie I made I drizzled a blackberry coulis over the cut pieces of pie. I recommend either a blackberry or a raspberry coulis drizzle.
I have a large abundance of yolks from baking macarons. Thanks for the reminder that key lime pie is the perfect dessert & a great way to use up yolks. Can't wait to try the yolk in the crust tip too!
@jordansimpson3086 too funny! I cracked 2 dozen eggs last week and a dozen this week for macarons. I've already got a quart of yolks in the freezer. 😂 Looks like it's time to make pasta.
This is super similar to the recipe I use for my key lime pie. I use crushed gingersnap cookies and cinnamon graham crackers. I add a bit of grated ginger into the mix (only a lil bit!) and the zest of 2 limes. I definitely want to try it with the cream cheese whip topping! I usually just do some lightly sweet whipped cream but that just sounds incredible. 🤤
I followed your instructions to the letter and it was the best key lime pie I have ever had. I did deviate in one small way. I baked it in a wood fired oven.
Oh this was so much fun!! My hubby’s favorite dessert! Think I’ll make it for our Anniversary next week! Loved Harris’s shirt changing color! 😂Had to back up the video! It was like what did I just see! Now I just have to finish off the Almond Crunch (to die for) cake! It was a real winner, too!
I watched this video the day it was released, and made the pie for a family dinner that weekend, and oh my god was it ever delicious. I cut back on the juice just a smidge because I was worried about how tart it was going to be, but I totally could have added all of the juice, and will next time! I got so many compliments on the crust too! Might be replacing my go-to lemon meringue with this recipe! You're the best
Made this yesterday! Forgot to add egg yolks in the filling, so worried it would not congeal, but it turned out fine. It’s so delicious that I was dancing while eating it. Chef Claire is the best!
I've never added eggs to key lime pie. 3 cup sw con milk, 1/2 cup sour cr. 3/4 cup lime juice, 1 tbs zest. bake @350 for only 7 min. it's the reaction between the milk and lime juice that sets it. best of luck!
I made this a few weeks ago for a Father’s Day get together and it was a big hit! I’m new to baking and this was so simple and easy to follow I’ll definitely be making it again
Oooh key lime pie. Claire is hitting all my favorite desserts with Claire’s panache. This has been the best summer of desserts. Wait did Vinny just beam Claire back into the scene 😊 Claire you forgot that beating the crackers is a stress reliever lol
Omygod. Thank god YT recommended this! Love watching Claire and also tarts are probably my fav dessert especially lemon/lime tarts. You get that toasty crunchy base and the main flavour in the middle and that cream on top balance the sweetness and tanginess. I want a slice now and with english tea 😭😭
Speaking of great American citrus pies, I highly recommend East North Carolina Lemon Pie (which has a Saltine cracker crust!) and Sour Orange Pie (which is a real Floridan pie). Both are so so so good!
I made 2 pies today, 1 for my friend's birthday tomorrow and one to be sure it worked. WOWSER so good :) Thank you, Claire! My go-to recipe was misplaced by the moving packers and I needed a recipe right now. This one is better. I am happy and think my friend will be too. :)
I just made 2 key lime pies this evening for my wee Mamma's birthday tomorrow. Obviously, being in Northern Ireland, key limes are not a normal ingredient that we can get, so it's normal limes for my pies too. My recipe is pretty much the same as yours, but I add 50g of desiccated coconut to my digestive biscuit crust and no added sugar as digestives are sweet enough. And of course, plenty of fresh whipped cream too, Lee :)
When I hear key lime pie, I don't know why but I assume it's a difficult recipe. Hearing Claire say it's easy in the intro makes me want to give it a shot.
I'm Australian and my whole life I thought you had to use key limes for key lime pie so I never thought I could make it. I figured I could use limes but I thought it would be blasphemy. But this excites me! I can make it now!
Yeah, don't worry about that. I can't buy vegemite where I'm from but I just make my own by grinding up yeast and sardines. You'll do just as well with the Persian lime in the key lime pie.
I was going to make this when my husband told me he hates lime 😅 the night before … so I substituted every lime component with lemon and it turned out great! I’m a beginner baker and I’d never made a graham cracker crust before (I’m from Europe and we don’t really do those where I lived) and it turned out a little too crumbly, but otherwise it was a nice and straightforward recipe. Hubby goes for seconds every time now, so I’m kinda proud lol
I got the recipe from my grandmother, and my nanny. We are southern. This recipe can also be used to make lemon meringue pie. All good right up to the topping. Never never whipped cream. You have 5 egg whites right there, beat to almost stiff peaks with a little sugar, and slide from the bowl to the top of the baked custard and seal the edges to the crumb. Make the meringue pretty and put it back in the oven until all those peaks or swirls are golden brown. Cool thoroughly and chill once it's cool.
I just made this, and it turned out great! The filling is excellent and nice and tart, which is exactly what I like in citrusy desserts. The crust also held together really well. Not sure if it's just my oven, but my filling was still pretty runny after 15-20 minutes, so I left it in a bit longer. I also added a bit more cream cheese to the topping, but that's just personal preference. It's also great as written in the recipe.
Mine had to be in the oven for about 30 minutes before it looked set. Still waiting on it to cool to see if it even that was enough time. My oven must be too cold... need to get a thermometer.
I over cooked my crust 😢 but the rest of filling and whipped cream was delicious! My 5 year old gave me a thumbs up and a hug ❤ She's a very picky eater so this was a huge win!!! I want to try it again and hopefully I can perfect it.
This recipe was delicious and a hit at a summer BBQ I went to. Only change I made was to the crust - half graham cracker, half speculous cookie (and omit added sugar). Yumm, thank you Claire!
Wow !! I got myself a bottle of Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime juice a few days ago …. Was hoping to make my very first key-lime pie. Thanks Claire. Love from Australia ❤
This was delicious, I didn’t think I’d like it because I’m not the biggest fan of citrus desserts. But this is definitely something I’d make again. It was easy too.
@@CSaffitz so I made it… And this was one of the best pies I’ve ever made!! A good crunch (and not soggy) pie shell. Velvety texture of the key lime filling. Not too tart or tangy but just what I needed. What did it for me was the cream cheese whipped cream. The cream cheese whipped cream was a *GAME CHANGER* and I didn’t expect it to be as addictive. It was ridiculously good! Why I never did that with any of my pies, I don’t know but I will now. While adding the zest of lime, I almost was tempted to add some coconut shavings. Maybe next time. Thank you for sharing this recipe. This made my day.
I make a mix of sour cream and sugar(just to taste, thin layer)and that gets spread on the top for the last 5-10 min of baking. Gives a nice contrast to the custard.
It's crazy that I actually have all these ingredients on hand (why do I have a pile of limes?), so definitely will be making this! Also, love that you're conscientious about single-use plastics.....I need to do better with that.🌍🌎🌏
I absolutely love coming to UA-cam and seeing videos that you have posted so I have new creations to do I was wondering would you ever do or include a fact of the day or random insightful facts of some technique in the video of history in the baking techniques or random facts about ingredients your using or methods so we can learn a little bit more knowledge as we learn with you random thought. Thank you so much for creating ❤👨🍳
Different approach but this reminded me of a key lime dessert story (recipe described below tale). It involved lime curd & I've got a roughly 60/40 success rate w/curds generally. This turned out & I was so proud/excited! No one cared - they got so hung up on my using nilla wafers instead of graham crackers, the lowest effort part lol 🤦♀️ I had to make dessert well ahead & pace steps out. So I made a lime curd 1 day so I could focus on that, then made a no bake cheesecake another day. I layered in half the cheesecake filling, folded the other half with some curd for the second layer, & topped w/ remaining curd. Put the whole thing in the freezer so day of, I could just move to fridge & top w/ whipped cream.
I made this recipe for my friend for her birthday. You made me look like a f***ing rockstar. It took 65 key limes & some patience…but thank you sooooooo much for sharing. I love your episodes. I’m not a baker, but you inspire me.

I over cooked my crust 😢 but the rest of filling and whipped cream was delicious! My 5 year old gave me a thumbs up and a hug ❤ She's a very picky eater so this was a huge win!!! I want to try it again and hopefully I can perfect it.
Thankfully Key Limes are always available in Florida! Must try this recipe! I love the addition of cream cheese. ❤
Hope you enjoy!
This recipe was delicious and a hit at a summer BBQ I went to. Only change I made was to the crust - half graham cracker, half speculous cookie (and omit added sugar). Yumm, thank you Claire!
Wow !! I got myself a bottle of Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime juice a few days ago ….
Was hoping to make my very first key-lime pie.
Thanks Claire.
Love from Australia ❤
Use Biscoff cookies instead of graham crackers. You wont be disappointed.
Always a joy to watch you in the kitchen. Thank you.
omg ! Claire Saffitz , so good for the soul ( the pie is very nice too)
Gonna have to make this for sure, been looking for a good keylime pie recipe
This was delicious, I didn’t think I’d like it because I’m not the biggest fan of citrus desserts. But this is definitely something I’d make again. It was easy too.
Not sure which I love more. The recipes or the editing.
I *LOVE* Key lime pie. Can’t wait to make this today. 😊
Let me know what you think!
@@CSaffitz so I made it…
And this was one of the best pies I’ve ever made!! A good crunch (and not soggy) pie shell. Velvety texture of the key lime filling. Not too tart or tangy but just what I needed. What did it for me was the cream cheese whipped cream. The cream cheese whipped cream was a *GAME CHANGER* and I didn’t expect it to be as addictive. It was ridiculously good! Why I never did that with any of my pies, I don’t know but I will now. While adding the zest of lime, I almost was tempted to add some coconut shavings. Maybe next time. Thank you for sharing this recipe. This made my day.
I make a mix of sour cream and sugar(just to taste, thin layer)and that gets spread on the top for the last 5-10 min of baking. Gives a nice contrast to the custard.
These are videos made for people who enjoy watching Claire bake more then baking itself
I made this, and it was so delicious and easy too! thank you Claire!!
Harris’ shirt changing colors, love the editing guys. 😂😂
glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
she nailed it on the sour nature of a citrus tart. The more lemony, the more acidic the better!
Thank you for making this Lime Pie Recipes 🥧🥧🥧
It's crazy that I actually have all these ingredients on hand (why do I have a pile of limes?), so definitely will be making this!
Also, love that you're conscientious about single-use plastics.....I need to do better with that.🌍🌎🌏
I made this pie a couple days ago and it was fabulous!
Love me a good Key 🔑 🍋🟩 🥧 key lime pie….this looks scrumptious
FINALLY A KEY LIME PIE RECIPE!!!!
I absolutely love coming to UA-cam and seeing videos that you have posted so I have new creations to do I was wondering would you ever do or include a fact of the day or random insightful facts of some technique in the video of history in the baking techniques or random facts about ingredients your using or methods so we can learn a little bit more knowledge as we learn with you random thought. Thank you so much for creating ❤👨🍳
Different approach but this reminded me of a key lime dessert story (recipe described below tale). It involved lime curd & I've got a roughly 60/40 success rate w/curds generally. This turned out & I was so proud/excited! No one cared - they got so hung up on my using nilla wafers instead of graham crackers, the lowest effort part lol 🤦♀️
I had to make dessert well ahead & pace steps out. So I made a lime curd 1 day so I could focus on that, then made a no bake cheesecake another day. I layered in half the cheesecake filling, folded the other half with some curd for the second layer, & topped w/ remaining curd. Put the whole thing in the freezer so day of, I could just move to fridge & top w/ whipped cream.
This is pretty much the same technique/recipe I use but have never seen the egg yolk in the crust. It makes sense. Will probably try it next time.
Oh my gosh! I'm doing key lime soon too and that's so awesome you just did one too!!! Yours looks delicious!
You had me at “Key Lime” 💚 Love it!!! Can’t wait to make it!!!! Can you tell I’m excited?!?! 🤣
the egg yolk in the crust is a great tip, I will try.
Do you come up with these recipes yourself because I'm like geez that is a lot of memorization. Plus your treats come out looking crazy amazing 😍🤩.
I made this recipe for my friend for her birthday. You made me look like a f***ing rockstar. It took 65 key limes & some patience…but thank you sooooooo much for sharing. I love your episodes. I’m not a baker, but you inspire me.
Why on God's green earth would you use those tiny key limes. I had to use 5 regular limes and I wanted to scream.
