Hey Y’all, with Valentine’s Day a couple days away, I’m craving something sweet and candy just won’t cut it.
I love cakes and pies, they are absolutely my favorite dessert! I also love when I find easy peasy recipes that taste like you’ve been slaving in the kitchen and all you did was dump a few ingredients in a bowl, whisk it real good, pop it in the oven and presto, You just earned your dessert queen wings.
This Key Lime Pie recipe is that simple. You don’t even need to prissy it all up like I did unless you want to impress. The taste alone will win friends and influence the key lime pie lover.
Have a simple Valentine’s Day meal then pop the champs and serve a slice of this pie or two.
Until next time,
Enjoy!
