It was a low and somber few days in our household after the chocolate pie was...devoured! MAN was it good! Well as you can imagine, our sweet tooth was at an all time high and we had to fix that!
The question was what dessert could I make that would sufficiently follow?!
After much debate (and with the help of Google) we arrived at the Key Lime Pie.
I should've guessed this. Hubby loves all things zesty and citrus. So I scrolled through TONS of recipes and finally found one that I liked. Who knew there were so many different variations! I really don't have a rhyme or reason as to why I chose the recipe that I did - but one thing that stood out to me was the fact that some recipes contained one (or several) eggs, and other recipes contained no eggs at all.Now...this is totally irrelevant to this recipe, but explains my logic!
When looking for a Chocolate Pie recipe I first came across a French Silk Pie recipe. Reading through the instructions, I realized the pie was NOT going to be baked 😖. Totally freaked me out! I am already not a fan of eggs. Something about them not being baked at all in that pie made me feel like I'd taste them in the filling. Probably not true - but that's what I believed!
Needless to say, I chose a Key Lime Pie recipe that did NOT (I repeat, did not) include eggs.
Per special request, I ended up making the crust again (used from one of Ree Drummond's recipes), so that, again, added to the start-to-finish time on the pie. But it was all worth it in the end :)
