Key Lime Pie

From the day she started eating solid foods, my daughter has been a citrus junkie!
Oranges, grapefruit, lemon and lime...she loves it all. She eats lemons like some people eat apples.

Can you believe she does not like key lime pie?
I don't understand, but, who am I to judge.

Hubby dearest and one of my uncles would sell their left kidney in order to get key lime pie. To me, that is worth making it for!

I will say, it is well worth it to find the key lime juice. I tried every store in our area with no luck. I happened to find it at our local Wegman's. We just got our first one last year...and I am addicted!

Mixing up the "meat" of the pie

Pie is filled and chilled, ready to frost.

Yes, the frosting still looks like sour cream, but the powdered sugar gives it just the right amount of sweetness.

Frosted, zested, and ready to eat!
