Heading to Florida with the key lime pie, one of the most iconic desserts in the United States. Beneath its cloud of whipped cream lies an incredibly smooth lime cream, set on a crispy biscuit base with a rich buttery flavor.
Its magic? The acidity of the lime naturally thickens the sweetened condensed milk, creating a creamy texture without custard. Simpler than a lemon meringue pie, it is prepared the day before and offers a perfectly tangy freshness at the end of a meal.
