This key lime pie kicks my other key lime pie's ass. Up and down the hallway. I'm so in love with the flavor of this pie. The key limes really come through and aren't overshadowed by the egg and condensed milk. The key limes need to be the star, and in this pie, they are. Tart goodness. Oh, and I used a graham cracker crust...much better than my ol' stand-in for this pie.
I was "not a fan" (as my three-year-old would say) of key lime pie. I would really just tolerate it...probably because I've just had mediocre key lime pies all my life, including the one I made in August. This one is de-lush-ious.

I used a Martha Stewart
recipe. (Bitch,
respectfully, knows what she's doing.) I didn't, however, use any key lime zest in the pie. I wanted to keep it smooth, people. Keep it smooth.
Here's a photo. I haven't applied the whipped cream decor (imagine me saying that in a really snobby voice...makes it funny). I'll do that a little later, as this pie is going to my friend Tpon, and the other one (I MADE TWO!) will be devoured by my fam and other friends.
Love,
Key Lime Pie Convert
yum Yum YUM! I want to be your friend! :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously...you crack me up. I don't give a s**t about the pies, I pretty much just like the commentary :)
ReplyDeleteSo I have this ABC Cookbook from some flour company that my mom sent off for with POP cut-outs when I was 4. I remember there was this recipe for Mud Pie that I BEGGED her to try because I wanted to eat mud (clearly I couldn't read that well at 4). Anyways, she made it, I loved it... and I still have the cookbook. Reading your blog about pie adventures makes me want to try the Mud Pie again 25 years later! I'll let you know how it goes ;)
