Add a photoMy cousin doesn't have much of a sweet tooth and only likes those cakes (strictly non-chocolate) that are loaded with fruits. When he asked me to bake a Key Lime Pie, I decided to make it as I was sure with this there isn't gonna be a fight feeding him dessert :D
I had never eaten a Key Lime Pie ( Somehow never felt like tasting a tart dessert).....So I quickly googled and settled on Martha Stewart's website for the recipe and the only change I did is added a little sugar too to make sure the pie is not too tarty and reduced the amount of zest.
As I had never tasted a lime pie before; my cousin was the judge for the recipe. I was so happy to hear that this Key Lime Pie turned out great and he really liked it. :) Everyone in the family loved the pie including me and next time I won't hesitate to try a tart dessert :)
