Great post and thanks for the recipe. We’re heading to Belize in June and will be spending a month there. I hope to sample a lot of great food while I’m there.

Your Key Lime Pie looks amazing. It must have the whipped cream to counter the lime tartness. yummmmmm!

I must admit my inexperience with Key Lime Pie. However, I adore meringue based pies, right up there with fruit pies. Some tantalizing recipes, yummy, and thank you!

mmmmmm…. i’ve always found your photos and accounts tantalizing, but the contrast between your recent adventures and what i’m experiencing here in Haiti is just crazy!

I loooooooooove Key Lime Pie. Been meaning to make it for ages now. And I love the deconstructed version, I tend to do that with most desserts, even while I’m in restaurants.
A traditional dessert for me has to have something spongy in it and topped with some sort of cream (gosh, I’m so German!) =) xxx

Meeta, Belize certainly is fantastic – but ooh, I want to go to Norway !

Emma, hunger strikes again ! I loved that cocoa fork too, so simple yet makes such a fun statement.

Sam, you are too funny. That’s right, I always forget about you having been a Florida girl. You have me now craving fresh crab legs, ha ha !

Sarah, I’m curious how you made your key lime pie that one time – so as to get that type of reaction, from clearly a very serious key lime pie fan !! What did she consider the real deal ? Can’t wait to hear about your next attempt too…

Elisa, sounds good to me !

Julia, key lime pie legislation, go figure ! There must be a rule somewhere about not being able to use green food coloring either ! As for citrus, when I was younger for some reason, I wasn’t into lemon at all. My sister totally was, and would drown certainly things in it (like tunafish), so I guess that must have turned me off !

Wow, who would have thought there would be so many variations on key lime pie. I actually can’t remember if I’ve had it before. It would only have been when living in the USA. In searching online, I just read that they tried to introduce legilation calling for a fine for calling a key lime pie, a key lime pie if it wasn’t made with key limes. (Wow, that was a mouthful.) Apparently the bill didn’t pass. So I’m in luck to make this myself now. But which version to mirror? Hmmmmm……

But question for you. You said you used to shy away from the zesty flavours of lemon and lime. Pourquoi?

Gorgeous photos! So envious of this sunny weather.

I only made key lime pie once and showed it to an American colleague. She said “That’s NOT key lime pie!” and I’ve not tried since. But I will – and I have leftover graham cracker crumbs from Daring Bakers for my base.
