Key Lime Pie - One of my favorites

I was encouraged to leave a comment over at Hive account@rebeccabe's blog for a chance to win some SBD in regards as to what I thought the #bestpie was. Instead, I think I will make a post about one of my favorites. While I am not much of a dessert person, I truly love Key Lime Pie. It is one of those pies that reminds me of summer and has a nice clean taste to it, albeit a tart taste to it. And while I didn't have time to whip one up, and seeing as I have no limes to make one, I relied on old pixabay for a photograph for you all to salivate over.

There is a rich smoothness to this as well as a tartness to this pie thanks to the limes. It contains sweetened condensed milk so there is a hint of sweetness to it. It differs from Lemon Meringue Pie in that it is usually baked on graham cracker crust and uses whipped cream instead of a meringue topping, however, I have had it with a meringue topping before and it is just as good. I will also like to put a link to one of my favorite Key Lime Pie recipes that is a quick go to for me when I want to make one.

In conclusion, there's really nothing else that comes close to this pie for me. If made right, it's a joy to eat and refreshing. Please check out Hive account@rebeccabe's post for #bestpie at Easy win 3 SBD - write your favorite pie in comments.
