For a more intense Key lime flavor, consider adding the zest of 1-2 Key limes to the filling mixture. If you can't find Key limes, regular lime juice works as a substitute, though the flavor will be slightly different. To prevent the graham cracker crust from becoming soggy, you can pre-bake it for 5-7 minutes before adding the filling. Garnish with a lime wedge and a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant presentation.
