Joe’s Stone Crab Key Lime Pie, I made this for my grandparent’s 61st wedding anniversary recently. They lived in Florida in their youth, and loved Joe’s Stone, and have lamented on occasion that they will never be able to go back they now live in Virginia. The family rallied ’round and ordered the crab claws directly from Joe’s, got a Joe’s Stone Crab Cookbook, and prepared the rest of the meal directly from it. What a fantastic surprise it was… and this was a very sweet end to the night. NOTE: I was only able to find about 8 key limes, which wasn’t enough juice. I supplemented with Nellie & Joe’s Key Lime juice without a problem. Also, I thought the pie was so rich it didn’t even need any whipped cream., Hands down this is the best key lime pie ever. I had rated Houstons as the best but this is ever tastier. My granddaughter loves it and now the entire family wants me to make it every time I visit or they visit. I now live in Florida and key lime pie is a must. Nothing I’ve had in a restaurant or purchased even compares. My hat is off to whoever came up with this. Its very simple to make and this recipe has made me “Grandma” a hero!!, GREAT Key Lime Pie! I had to use bottled key lime juice because my store didn’t have key limes. It was still absolutely delicious and my dinner guests literally couldn’t believe I made it myself. Definitely my go-to recipe from now on!
