Keylime pie
This delectable pie features a tangy and creamy filling made from key lime juice, egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk, all nestled in a crumbly graham cracker crust.
The distinctive taste of key lime pie comes from the small, tart key limes, which give the pie a bright and refreshing flavor. Topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkling of lime zest, each bite of key lime pie is a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
Whether enjoyed on a warm summer day or as a zesty conclusion to a hearty meal, key lime pie never fails to delight the palate with its tropical charm and creamy texture.
