genuine key lime pie is yellow, not green and uses key lime juice not Persian lime juice, at any rate the green food coloring can be eliminated. Also fresh eggs, separated and egg whites beaten with 8 Tbsp of sugar are used instead of cool whip in a genuine recipe.

I made this for Father's Day and it was terrific! It was light and creamy. The lime flavoring was good also. I'll definitely make this again.
