I used it for years and never saved it!

I tried to make this using canned coconut milk sweetened condensed milk but unfortunately it never set up – I kept baking longer but that just made the crust overcooked and hard, so the whole thing ended up being a waste. Too bad because I’ve loved every other recipe from 100 cookies and was really looking forward to this one (and from the taste of the filling I tried I’m sure it would have been delicious if it had turned out)! Everything else in the recipe I kept the same so I imagine the coconut milk based substitute was the culprit and wonder if it needs a thickener added to help it set up.

Yes, they can be made a day ahead. Anymore than that you will lose the crispness in the crust.

This is a lime pie, not key lime – this is not a gripe, as there is a much brighter, floral flavor to the pie. You can pump it up by adding vanilla extract or a squeeze of lemon but there is one ingredient you need for this pie – KEY LIMES! You’ll need about 1 lb and a half for this recipe and look for the sweet yellow ones.

I’m wondering if this could be made in advance, maybe by a day or two? Or would that change the quality/consistency when you eat it? Thank you!
