without whipped cream.. it says "may be held/stored 24 hours"
Why such a short period? Is 48 hours going to make someone sick?

My key lime pies usually tend to melt (separate) in the fridge almost
overnight.

I think it depends on what recipe you used... when I made them they
were good for a week (not that they ever lasted more than a few days,
because they taste GOOD!) Looking at that recipe I don't see any
reason why it shouldn't keep just as well... except maybe the crumb
crust gets soggy.

Yeah, they separate from the pie pan to the dessert dish! ;-)~

I myself think the crust needs some work... say a little cinnamon or
nutmeg to jazz it up some

I include one tablespoon of key lime zest in the filling for extra zing and
visual appeal.

Update... They looked fine after 48 hours.. so I guess they're ok...
Otherwise,, I've just made my Chief pilot, and local F.A.A. inspectors
sick!

Using that same recipe for filling and a store-bought graham cracker
crust (and no topping--whipped cream or otherwise), I've once kept key
lime pie refrigerated for as long as two weeks. (I pressed a round of
wax paper on the surface to cover it) The quality had declined
markedly, but it still tasted ok. It definitely lacked the intense
flavor of a fresh key lime pie made with freshly squeezed key lime
juice, but it tasted ok and didn't make anyone sick. I keep my fridge
cold enough that there are spots in which things freeze. The pie I
kept for so long wasnt in one of those spots, but my fridge is cold.
