In case you're new here, here's how a bake off works:
- I bake 9-12 different recipes in one day
- Samples of each recipe get distributed to a team of tasters
- Tasters rank each sample for flavor, texture and overall appeal
- We analyze the data and rank each recipe according to the scores!

Thank you. I’ve been searching for a recipe to make my first key lime pie. It’s my sister’s family favorite. Interestingly, none of the nine pies you tried showed up on my KZfaq search. I think I’ll try the Cook’s Illustrated. Happy thanksgiving.

Excellent review. When it comes to comparing anything, I like to predetermine which “should” be the best so as to set the bar high and see if any others can clear it.

My recipe is similar to cooks illustrated but, instead I use 5 egg yolks and 3/4 cup of "Nellie and Joe's" key lime juice. I get a little more pie filling and slightly more lime flavor and tartness. Sometimes If I want to keep the calories down and a little lazy I used a premade graham cracker crust. I've even used non fat sweetened condensed milk and there's very little difference from full fat. I don't use zest. Thanks for the recipes.

AIRY was the word i was thinking for the one, and then you said it, too. (PEPE'S) that one was the most intriguing, like i wanted to reach in and try it. other than that, the sour cream and cream cheese options sound like they'd be a lot less hassle to make. the sour cream one having more keylime flavor makes me think it'd be the one to try first. overall, i like the pie to keep its shape, no matter the type - like the first several flan-y ones vs the denser egg-free ones.

Kind of wish you had tried Kermit's recipe, but maybe one of these had it. Give credit to you for making all these. Everyone has a different preference of what is good from tartness, texture and then it comes down to crust and filling to crust ratio and then knit picking the whip cream.

I wish the recipes were a little more different than each other. Maybe some browned butter graham crust, meringues, or even cream cheese/key lime cheesecakes. Anyway, the production quality was high

@erikathepancakeprincess Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I try to choose similar recipes for consistency and a fair testing process, but I do think a brown butter crust would be incredible!
