Key Lime Pie, shrimp cocktail, pina coladas, coconut cake, rum runner, conch fritters, crab, Cuban coffee, shrimp anything.
Did your store have any key limes?? That is what makes the pie. Please don't use the Persian limes. Pie will taste funny.I went with Key Lime Pie. Actually tasted the filling though it had eggs tastes really good. recipe calls for sour cream and powdered sugar frosting. Guess I will do in an hour or so unless anyone knows of better frosting
Also made clam dip, thanks for all the ideas
Well as long as you don't use the regular limes. Key limes are very intense. We have a tree on our property in key west. As long as there are limes, wy wife will always make a pie. She tried the juice one time and it was not the same. We had a neighbor make one with Persian limes and it was gross. The juice will ge you by. When they are available by you, try making it with fresh key limes. Takes a lot of limes to make it but its totally worth it.Got key lime juice. They told me key limes were not in season.
Whats the difference
Most Key lime pie I've had has either been topped with meringue or whipped cream; I've never encountered one with any kind of sour cream topping on it.
