Key Lime Pie

I wanted to share a recipe success from over the weekend: Key Lime Pie.  I love key lime pie.  It’s sweet and tart, easy to prepare, and it is especially perfect for summer nights!  I found the recipe on epicurious.com, which is such a reliable cooking source.  I have their app on my phone as well.

I used this recipe for the pie, with my own modifications:

• added 1/4 tsp each of ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg to crust
• used salted butter in crust
• made fresh whipped cream (whip heavy cream, add sifted powdered sugar) for a topping
• toasted coconut to garnish on top of the whipped cream
• used Nellie & Joe’s key lime juice instead of fresh key limes

I made this Thursday night, served it Friday night with Mexican food, and the leftovers were great through the weekend!  Enjoy!
