To make a traditional key lime pie, simply pour the contents of the can into a pre-baked pie crust. Spread the filling evenly. For best results, chill the pie thoroughly before serving to allow the filling to set properly.

Its smooth consistency makes it easy to incorporate into various sweet creations, offering a burst of citrus flavor.
