This easy recipe for gluten free no bake key lime pie is the best summer dessert! It is so quick to make with cream cheese, cool whip, lime juice and sweetened condensed milk. I love to make this lime cheesecake pie the day before I serve it so it's set up well and delicious.
Does key lime pie contain gluten?
This recipe does not contain gluten because I made it with a gluten free graham cracker crust. Most key lime pie that you see in stores or restaurants uses a crust that does contain gluten, so be sure to confirm the pie is actually gluten free.
The filling is made from whipped cream, cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice and lime zest. None of those ingredients should contain gluten, but always read the label. It is surprising the things that have added wheat in them.

What can I use if I don't have key lime juice?
Regular lime juice will work for this recipe too. You can use store bought lime juice in the bottle or juice from regular limes. Although key lime juice does have a ton of flavor and whenever possible I would try to get the bottled juice to use.
You could also use lemon juice, orange juice or a combination of both in this recipe for a citrus pie. This basic recipe is really simple to change out the juice and make a slightly different, but still delicious version of this pie.

Description
This easy recipe for gluten free no bake key lime pie is the best summer dessert! It is so quick to make with cream cheese, cool whip, lime juice and sweetened condensed milk. I love to make this lime cheesecake pie the day before I serve it so it's set up well and delicious.
Ingredients
1 Gluten Free Graham Cracker Crust
Whipped Cream:
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tbsp. Powdered Sugar
Filling:
8 ounce package Cream Cheese, at room temperature
14 ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk
½ cup Key Lime Juice
1 Tbsp. Lime Zest
Instructions
In the bowl of your stand mixer whisk the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a bowl and store in the refrigerator until you are ready for it.
In the same bowl of your stand mixer add the cream cheese and beat 1-2 minutes until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk slowly while beating until it is incorporated into the cream cheese.
While the mixer is running slowly add the lime juice and then add the lime zest beat just until these ingredients are incorporated into the cream cheese mixture.
Remove the bowl from your mixer and then using a spatula fold in the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture.
Pour the mixture into your prepared gluten free graham cracker crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. I prefer to refrigerate overnight so the pie is really cold and set up well when I serve it.
Notes
If you don't want to make whipped cream you can use store bought whipped cream.
