Friday I decided to tackle Key Lime Pie! It was a last minute dessert that I wanted to take to a cookout. Normally when I need a new, guaranteed 5-star recipe I go straight to family & friends.

I contacted about several different people and nobody had a good, tried and true recipe for Key Lime Pie, including a few born and breed Key West, Floridians. So off to the Internet I went. I wanted a recipe that was quick, easy, delicious and had an authentic taste without going through the whole “authentic” preparation. I narrowed it down to 3 recipes to test but after I made this one ladies I KNEW this one was the keeper!
I took it to the cookout and got rave reviews all around. This key lime pie is creamy, sweet, rich, with just the right amount of key lime kick. It’s so refreshing which makes it the perfect dessert after a light summer dinner. Into my recipe collection, it goes!
Hope you enjoy this pie as much as I do. It comes courtesy of Marlene Goode! Thanks, Marlene, this pie is the business!!!
