Lime Pie
Description
Delicious homemade dessert for the whole family. A crisp crust, a delicate sweet-and-tangy layer reminiscent of mousse, and fluffy whipped cream—this is the homemade Florida Key Lime Pie. The cream, by the way, is just an optional garnish, so you can skip it and instead decorate the top of the pie with lime slices or zest. It's impossible to resist this treat—it's incredibly delicious. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
