I did detect a slightly artificial aftertaste in some bites (and some tasters could instantly taste the difference), but my hunch is that the grand majority of people won’t taste a difference. The verdict? I was honestly hard-pressed to taste a big difference. Nellie and Joe’s is by far the most popular/available brand of key lime juice in the U.S., which is what we used in two recipes that noted they usually use bottled juice (Souffle Bombay and Tastes Better from Scratch). bottled: There were a lot of strong opinions on whether bottled juice can live up to/exceed the merits of fresh key lime juice. The one pie that combined dairy + eggs (Souffle Bombay) had a nice middle of the road texture! Overall, we found that pies that set the custard with only dairy and no eggs (Divas Can Cook, Tastes Better from Scratch) tended to have a milder lime flavor and a much thicker, creamier texture. (I cut one recipe that used Greek yogurt as I consider full-fat Greek yogurt to perform very similarly to sour cream). Dairy: Variations included sour cream and cream cheese.While the crusts were fairly similar, the custards differed in the following ways: There was perhaps less variation in this set of recipes as I standardized all the crusts to be graham cracker crusts (a Biscoff crust seemed like it would be unfairly delicious).
