To be honest, I have never actually tasted true key limes because they are not common in the grocery stores where I live (here in the Midwest). They used to be grown widely in the Florida Keys (where key lime pie is reported to have originated), but because of some bad hurricanes in the 1900's, they are no longer grown there and are now imported. Key limes juice is supposed to be a bit less tart than regular lime juice. Key limes are smaller, more yellow in color, and have thinner skin. Of course, the answer would ideally be key limes! Key limes vary from regular limes (also known as Persian limes) in several ways. What kind of limes to use in your vegan key lime pie recipe I will link to the brands I like and use, so that you know what to look for when you go shopping. Those products can usually be found in most bigger grocery stores these days- I found mine at Whole Foods. In place of them, we will be using full-fat coconut milk and vegan sweetened condensed milk. Some vegan key lime pie recipes call for using silken tofu and maple syrup, but we won't even need those. To make this plant-based version, I made small swaps to make this recipe dairy-free and egg free and also keep it as simple as possible. Sometimes it can be topped with a marange toppings, or sometimes just whipped cream.
