- Phil Says: Several years ago I treated a young man from Key West, Florida who was dying. A couple of weeks before he died, he gave me his 75 year old family recipe for Key Lime Pie. He explained which most Key Lime Pie recipes use condensed lowfat milk. Even restaurants in Key West serve Key Lime Pie made with condensed lowfat milk. Jessie was disdainful of this version. His family recipe, passed from generation to generation, does not used condensed lowfat milk. Jessie claimed it is the only authentic Key Lime Pie recipe. So in memory of Jessie, I offer it to you.
