Simply Refreshing… Key Lime Pie

In particular, I love citrus flavors and fresh fruit and some zing in my desserts… like the Strawberry Cheesecake Pie I made for Easter. It had those yummy fresh strawberries and a touch of lemon in the pie filling.

Well, yesterday I made another favorite pie of mine… Key Lime Pie.  It’s a simple recipe – I got it from my husband’s grandmother who lived in Florida and always used fresh Key Limes.

I didn’t have the luxury of fresh key limes, but I’ve found that Nellie & Joe’s Famous Key Lime Juice is a good substitute, and I can find it in Winn-Dixie stores in Mississippi.

I also whipped up some heavy cream this morning with a little bit of sugar and plopped it on my slice.   I love fresh whipped cream and have could eat it with a spoon right out of a bowl!!

Here’s my basic recipe.  By the way… you’ll definitely want to make this in a deep-dish pie pan.  It’s way too much yummy for a thin pie!
