This classic pie includes a flaky pastry crust, billowy whipped-cream topping, and of course a silky, aromatic sweet-tart custard filling. If you can’t find fresh Key limes, you can substitute common lime juice, which will be tart but without the floral notes found in Key limes. Bottled Key lime juice is an even better choice as long as it’s 100% juice. The pie needs to chill for at least 5 hours before serving.

Slightly firmer than a conventional flan but still super silky and smooth, these single-serving custards are an elegant way to feature the flavor of Key limes. Like Key lime pie filling, they get their silky texture from sweetened condensed milk. They’re ideal for entertaining because all of the elements may be made ahead, and in fact, the flan must be refrigerated for at least 8 hours before serving.
