Key Lime Pie
Pinterest Hidden Image

If you live above the 49th parallel, at some point during the winter time, you feel the need to escape to a warmer destination 🏝. When I was living in Toronto, the nearest destination was Florida. As I became a snow bird, I really started appreciating American southern cuisine. From savory to sweet, many recipes tasted so “fresh”!
 
I’ve never been a big “dessert” person but once in a while, I enjoy something sweet. Going down to Florida at least once a year, there was a dessert I really enjoyed and ordered quite often. It was Key Lime Pie 🥧! I loved the tartness mixed with the subtle sweetness of this regional pie. It was somewhat sweet but not overly.
 
When I moved to the West Coast, Florida is a long ways away and of course the closest warm destination, besides Palm Springs 🏜 is Hawaii. I’ve been to Hawaii several times but I’ve never found a “real” Key Lime Pie to compare to the one’s I experienced in Florida. If you know me, the only option I had was to make my own…
 
I’m a “sunshine lover” 🌞 and enjoy the warmth and comfort of sunny days. Unfortunately, British Columbia can be slightly cool and rainy ☔ therefore to bring a taste of sunshine to my table, I love making Key Lime Pie. The technique is pretty simple and the only thing you really need is a good citrus press or a juicer. I also have some great kitchen tricks on how to Extract the Most Juice from Citrus Fruits that you definitely should take a look at. You should also make your own Graham Cracker Crust 👩‍🍳… it’s so easy!
 
Another plus to this recipe is that it’s eggless! The taste is as rich, smooth and beautiful as the ones with eggs in it. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this pie 🥧 as much as I do and hope it brings some happy summer/vacation memories to your table…
Bon Appétit! 🍽
