No one knows who invented key lime pie. The particular lime called the Key Lime was brought to America by the Spanish. Key Lime Pie would have been created after condensed milk had been invented. True key lime pie requires juice from the round Key Lime and not the juice from the oblong Persian Lime. Key Lime juice has a higher pH than Persian Lime Juice, which means it is not as acidic and it has a far more pleasant aftertaste. That juice is mixed with condensed milk and other ingredients.
