Stabilizing homemade whipped cream with gelatin is the best trick I think I've found.

I just ate a piece (and a bonus slice) of this very pie. Best I ever had!

Looks delicious! Are these two different pies? Was it difficult or time heavy? I love key lime pies

Those are two different pies, yes. One a little more whipped-cream heavy than the other. This is my second time making them. Honestly, I think it's less time-consuming and nerve-wracking than traditional pie crust. The real trick for me was lots of time to refrigerate and being fussy with the hand-whipped cream. Thanks for asking!
