Notes
Store leftovers in the freezer for up to a week, covering tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for easier slicing. Make sure the heavy cream is cold before whipping for better peaks. For a stronger lime flavor, add more key lime juice according to your taste. If a sweeter pie is desired, add more sugar to the lime mixture. You can also add toppings like whipped cream or fresh berries for a twist.
