I'm getting off in Key West just to find key lime pie on a stick. I thought it was one place that had it. Do I go to Kermit's or the Blonde Giraffe?

Why not do both and then report which is best??

I like the way you think geffric!

I may have to do that too, just so we can note the differences in Spring vs Fall..LOL

My favorite Key Lime Pie is at the restaurant "Kellys". It at the old PAM AM Headquarters. It's a restaurant that is owned by that Kelly actress that was on Top Gun..or at least it was the last time I was there.

Anyway- they also have a shop near the Southermost point where you can buy it. I love it because it has a chocolate cookie crust!

As you can tell, everyone has their favorites. Lee likes the Blonde Giraffe and I like ALL of them. Kelly's was good because we had it with dinner.

My advice, rent a bike or one of those electric carts and try as many as you can.
I don't recall having any bad ones.

Being a "Florida gal" I've had so many good and bad key lime pies! The best is sold in Davie Florida at a Orange Grove called Spykes Grove. They sell Terry's Key Lime Pie..to die for!! I ship them to friends at Christmas time, expensive but worth it!! I would post link but restrictions so PM if you want it.

The basic recipe was posted here already. Until recently you didn't have to bake the pie, no with all the raw eggs scares you really should. I think it's better without baking so sometimes I will play russian roulette. Here are some substitues that I've used instead of the raw eggs: Use a softened 8 oz cream cheese and refridgerate or my favorite use a small container of cool whip and fold into cond milk and kl juice then freeze! It's awesome on a hot day.

If you really want a good pie make your own gram cracker crust. The premade ones are okay for a quicky, but homemade is way better!!

As everybody said the pie taste is based on the limes. And if you like a tart pie then add more juice. Right now our local store (Publix) has key limes..guess I will be making a pie this weekend.
