Key Lime Recipes are so good. Pucker up for these sweet desserts that will have you running down to the stores to grab limes or key limes! Besides the recipe I tried, I decided to make a list of more ideas to make! Enjoy these choices to pick from to try yourself. I hope you enjoy this must-make key lime recipe list! 

Most of the recipes are for key limes but a few are for just limes. The difference between the two is key limes are more flavorful, a bit seeder, smaller, and have thinner rinds. Key limes are known for a bit tart and bitter flavor. Looking for something else? See our lists of recipes! 

Key lime is my second youngest daughter’s favorite. When I go to visit her I love sharing new key lime recipes I’ve found. We always celebrate getting to visit together with a treat sometime during our stay. You’ll find recipes good for holidays, gatherings, picnics, birthdays, or just because you would like something sweet…

One lime recipe I tried recently was this Creamy Lime Squares recipe. It was easy to put together with step-by-step images. Then you have to wait for it to set up. I really loved the way it tasted the powdered sugar sprinkled on top of the key lime counterbalances the tartness of the limes. Making this one delicious lime dessert! 

The Pioneer Woman’s Key Lime Pie with step-by-step images to help you make your own. The mother of all key lime pie recipes is Paula Dean’s Bubbas’s Key Lime Pie it only takes 30 minutes to put together,  15 minutes to bake, set overnight, and serves 8. 

A common question about making key lime and lime recipes is can you use the bottled lime juice? This article “using bottled lime juice” will help you decide.
