"This is an excellent no-bake key-lime pie. I especially like the smooth texture. The blend of the milk with sour cream and gelatin gives it a very "summery" cool taste. The only thing I would do is ..." See moreto leave out the lime zest; it doesn't go well with the smooth texture. Even still, I will make this again. Oh one more thing, I used a pre-made graham cracker crust, as that's what I prefer with key-lime."
