🍽️ Key Lime Pie on the Patio

When I think of a warm weather dessert, Key Lime Pie is near the top of the list. What I like about this one is the lack of raw eggs and Greek yogurt instead. This one can be made in advance so it would be a nice dessert for a dinner party. KEY LIME PIE. It makes me think of the old movie, KEY LARGO. I use regular limes and FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice. It’s harder to find the key limes and fresh juice, for me, is always a MUST. Imagine you are sipping sweet tea (page 91 in my book, It’s a Great Day To...Gather Around a Table) and enjoy a beautiful summer evening. We’re at the end of July now, August arrives later this week. A month now, we’ll be looking forward to cider, donuts and college football.
