How long does it take for Key Lime Pie to be ready serve when refrigerated?

Typically, Key Lime Pie needs to be refrigerated for at least 4 hours, and up to 24 hours, before it is ready to serve. This allows the filling to set and the flavors to meld together. Some recipes may suggest a shorter refrigeration time, but for best results, it's best to refrigerate the pie for the full amount of time. Additionally, it is best to serve the Key Lime Pie chilled.
