I'm a sucker for a slice of Key Lime Pie. The sweet, creamy, tart goodness in each bite is definitely worth indulging in. Blame it on my Florida roots planted several generations deep or maybe on my love of things that master the delicate balance of sour and sweet. Either way, this is the perfect dessert to keep summer alive as the weather cools. An authentic key lime pie recipe from a Florida-born girl is something not given away very easily – our family secret is now revealed!
