Delicious and cool Key Lime Pie
Key Lime Pie

I just returned from a long stay in Florida, where of course I had to try several versions of delightfully cool Key Lime Pie. Key limes are also known as Mexican or West Indian limes. If you can’t find them in your area, substitute bottled Key lime juice. This recipe is modified from the classic one found on many condensed milk and Key lime juice labels. There’s more lime juice in it!

    I remember one of our vacations to Gulf Shores and we had two of our grandchildren and one of our sons with us. We all love Key Lime pie so naturally we had that for dessert with our meal the first evening. Aaron, my son, and Morgan, my granddaughter decided we needed to take a piece back to the condo with us for s late night snack. Well when I looked at the bill later and realized that I had spent about sixty dollars for that it didn’t seem quite as delicious as it had earlier.
