key lime pie
(1 RATING)
I have a obsession with finding recipes, and I came across this one and tried it and my family loves it and I do too. The funny thing is as I have gotten older my tastes have changed, because I was not a big fan of citrus desserts...well that has changed after this one. My momma that has been gone for some years now was a great cook ,and I have used her knowledge and love for cooking to teach myself a few things. I hope you like it and tell me what you think.

How To Make key lime pie

While this sets, put a mixing bowl made of glass or metal in the freezer to get cold to make your topping. (would not recommend plastic does not get cold enough)
