What is Key Lime Pie?
A true 'Key Lime Pie' is a baked pie that is made with ingredients such as key limes (juice and zest), eggs, and sweetened condensed milk. While key lime pie is delicious, it also has sugar and other ingredients that you may not want in your pie.
Key lime pie gets its name from the location of its origin. If you have ever traveled to the Florida Keys, you probably have seen many tasty versions of key lime pie.
What is the difference between key lime and lime pie?
Technically, this is a lime pie recipe that is intended to be lower in sugar and easier to make. That is, this is a no bake and sugar free lime pie recipe.
However, if you want more of a key lime flavor, you can add a bit of key lime juice to your pie. I would not add more than a tablespoon or so as you already are adding lime flavor. Also, make sure that your key lime juice does not have added sugar.
Here are some tips for making Jello pie.
Key lime pie seems to taste even more authentic when you serve it with slices of lime. You can also top your pie with lime zest as well.

How to store sugar free lime pie.
This pie should be well covered and refrigerated for up to five days.
