Key Lime Pie - Can you use regular limes instead of Key limes? You can use regular limes in place of Key limes in any Key lime recipe. Key limes are a bit more tart than their traditional counterparts, but the results of this substitution will still be delicious. If Key limes aren't available in your grocery store, look for bottled Key lime juice near the other bottled lime juices. Cool the baked crust, and add the Key lime filling. This is the gold standard of key lime pie recipes. I live in Cuba where key limes are abundant, but Cuba also juices those limes and packages them in small boxes that contain about one cup each. Thank you and good luck
