Key Lime Pie

I am pulling out all my favorite summer recipes and dessert is no exception. My parents were snowbirds, so Big Guy and I would enjoy sumptuous meals @crowsnestveniceflorida. Our visits to this gem were never a disappointment as the food and service were exceptional.

I was thrilled when our waiter suggested we save room for dessert which was house made key lime pie. It was the perfect bite of sweetness I thoroughly enjoyed at the end of our lovely meal.

Once we were home from our trip, I thought about that pie and started to search for a recipe. To my delight, the restaurant shared the recipe on their website. The ingredients include sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and key lime juice mixed and poured into a graham cracker crust. The most interesting part is placing it into a 350-degree oven, turning off the oven, and letting it “cook” for twenty-five minutes. Once it cools in the refrigerator, you can serve it with cool whip.

I have been making this pie ever since my discovery. As @inagarten would say, “how easy is that?”
