Key Lime Pie

Cultural Context

Key Lime Pie hails from the Florida Keys, where the tiny, tart key limes thrive. This pie became a staple in the region, celebrated for its refreshing flavor and creamy texture. Traditionally, it was made with simple ingredients, reflecting the resourcefulness of early settlers.

7

Add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk to the lime mixture and whisk until blended.
