KEY LIME PIE

We are Southern Florida Kitties. One delicious and
very famous dessert down here in Florida is Key Lime
Pie. It is especially popular in Key West.

Here is a little detail about what the ingredients are
in this fabulous dessert. The pie is made from Florida
Key Limes and it is baked in graham cracker crust.
Cinnamon is added in some recipes and the filling is a
not too tart and not too sweet creamy kind.

Sounds yummy doesn't it?
