Description

This Baked Key Lime Pie Pudding is a delightful twist on the classic key lime pie, combining tart key lime juice with creamy sweetened condensed milk and eggs. Baked to perfection until golden brown and set in the center, this pudding offers a luscious citrus flavor with a smooth texture. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for a refreshing dessert that can be enjoyed plain or topped with whipped cream for added richness.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 3/4 cup fresh key lime juice
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Topping (Optional)

  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Additional lime zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Mix wet and dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the fresh key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, lime zest, and all-purpose flour until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add melted butter: Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated, which adds richness and helps with the pudding’s texture.
  4. Pour into baking dish: Pour the combined mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out to ensure even cooking.
  5. Bake the pudding: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly, indicating perfect doneness.
  6. Cool before serving: Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This cooling step helps the pudding firm up for easier portioning.
  7. Optional topping: Serve the pudding topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of additional lime zest for a decorative and flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh key lime juice for the best authentic flavor; bottled juice can be used in a pinch but may alter the taste.
  • Make sure not to overbake to keep the pudding creamy rather than dry.
  • Allow the pudding to cool sufficiently before slicing to maintain clean portions.
  • Whipped cream topping is optional but adds a lovely creamy contrast to the tartness.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
