Is Tarte Au Citron the same as Key Lime Pie?

Question

I need to buy a key lime pie as it is my boyfriends favourite.

I've never had it as I am a coeliac.

I cant find it anywhere :(

And was wondering if tarte au citron is the same?

Answer 1

No key lime pie is made with lime, and tarte au citron is made with lemon

Answer 2

no its not at all the same.  Tarte au citron is basically a lemon custard tart, which is much smoother in texture than lime pie, and also is make with lime rather than lemon.

Key lime pie is not that difficult to make: Give this recipe a try if you have time http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/databa...

Im sure he'd really appreciate a home made one!!  You might even be able to adapt the recipe so you can have some too.

Answer 3

Sainsburys do a key lime pie

Answer 4

No 1 made with lemon the other with lime.

I think Sainsburys might sell them.

Answer 5

They're two completely different items!
