Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie is a well-known pie from Florida. I had it many times in restaurants, but this was the first time I made one myself.

I love the tangy, refreshing flavours from the limes together with the crunchy biscuit base.

It’s very easy to make with just a couple of ingredients.

If you like, you can top it with some whipped cream.

Happy Baking!
