Sept. 24, 2024 — With National Key Lime Pie Day on Sept. 26, now is the time to discover perfection for the first time — or be reintroduced to an old favorite — by picking up a Publix Key Lime Pie.

The proof is in the ingredients

The start to every great Key lime pie is the key ingredient — Key lime juice. Tart and aromatic Key limes bring the iconic coloring to the pie since the juice is yellow instead of green. To create the perfect mix of sweet and tart, sweetened condensed milk is another key ingredient, in addition to the final touches of whipped cream and toasted almonds.

Our ‘pie-fect’ recipe wins awards

This tangy pie isn’t just renowned for its taste — it’s also a slice of history. Since its debut at the opening of our first Danish Bakery in 1957, our Key lime pie recipe has stayed the same. For almost 70 years, generations have come to love our popular dessert. But don’t just take our word for it. This treat has won several awards over the years at the annual American Pie Council’s National Pie Championships in both the 6-inch and 9-inch categories.

Recognizing the national holiday

On Thursday, Sept. 26, participate in National Key Lime Pie Day and grab a Publix fan favorite for yourself or share with other pie fanatics.

And if you’re feeling even more tropical, try our mango Key lime pie for a twist on the traditional treat.
