When I was a little girl my grandparents, who lived in Florida, took me on a trip to the Florida Keys. It was so much fun and I must have eaten 20 pounds of shrimp and lobster all by myself. I also got to taste what an authentic key lime pie was like. Boy oh boy, was it ever good! I wish I could have bundled that pie up and taken it home with me. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to make my own.
I love easy dessert recipes such as this one.
