Key Lime Pie

With only three ingredients (including regular limes) and in just over 30 minutes, you can produce a four-star dessert perfect for any summer occasion. While the pie filling will set without baking (most recipes call only for mixing and then chilling), we discovered that ours set much more nicely after being baked for only 15 minutes.
