For a more intense lime flavor, use Key lime juice instead of regular lime juice. If you don't have a pre-baked pie shell, you can use a store-bought graham cracker crust for convenience. Shortbread crusts also work well for a richer flavor. To prevent the crust from getting soggy, brush the bottom of the cooled crust with melted white chocolate before adding the filling. Garnish with lime zest, whipped cream swirls, or lime slices before serving for an elegant presentation.
