Irresistible Mango Key Lime Pie: A Fresh, Flavorful Twist on a Classic Dessert

Few desserts capture the essence of summer quite like a Mango Key Lime Pie. If you’ve ever enjoyed the award-winning Mango Key Lime Pie from Publix, you know the delight of its creamy, tart, and sweet filling nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust. But what if you could enjoy all that tropical flavor at home—without the artificial colors, preservatives, and unnecessary additives found in the store-bought version? This homemade Mango Key Lime Pie recipe delivers all the lusciousness of the Publix classic, but with fresher, cleaner ingredients and a truly homemade touch.

Why Make Mango Key Lime Pie at Home?

Publix’s Mango Key Lime Pie is beloved for good reason: it’s a perfect balance of tangy key lime and mellow mango, with a smooth, creamy texture that’s utterly satisfying. However, as many fans have noticed, the store version contains artificial colors (like Yellow 5 and Yellow 6), corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and preservatives. By making your own, you control every ingredient—resulting in a dessert that’s not only delicious but also free from unwanted extras.

If you love the Mango Key Lime Pie from Publix but want a fresher, cleaner version without the artificial ingredients, this recipe is for you. This no-bake Mango Key Lime Pie is bursting with real mango and zesty lime flavor, made with wholesome ingredients and zero eggs. It’s creamy, tangy, and sweet—everything you crave in a tropical dessert, but with a lighter, more natural touch. Best of all, you don’t even need to turn on the oven; just mix, chill, and enjoy a slice of sunshine!
