Bring The Tropics Home With This Key Lime Pie Recipe
⌛ By Kaylin R. Staten ⌛
One of the most annoying things on Pinterest is when you want to find a new recipe and you have to scroll until the end of time for the ingredients and instructions.
Have no fear! I am here to give you a quick and easy key lime pie recipe with limited explanation. I just have to say this: I love lime everything and have always had an obsession with limes. (Does anyone remember the white chocolate lime Mounds bars?) I will admit, I am better with dinner items. Dessert is still a little out of my element, but this recipe is so easy that if you're not a natural baker, you can make it, too!
Oh, and it was featured at our wedding shower, so it's special to me, too. ;) Sometimes, we all need a break from going hard with our businesses all the time!
Here's the recipe to make your own key lime pie! Who doesn't want a touch of the tropics without having to travel?
