This is my late entry to AlphaBakes which I am hosting so I am obviously allowing the late entry! It's been a really busy month what with going away for my birthday and moving house and being ill so I've not really had a chance to bake or blog much. I'm still living in a sea of boxes which makes it harder to bake as I don't have all my regular equipment. I had to be inventive with opening the can of condensed milk as I couldn't find my can opener.
When I chose the letter K at the beginning of this month, J mentioned that he wanted a key lime pie. I've never made one before and was keen to make it for AlphaBakes but time ran away with me. Anyway I managed to bake this quickly earlier tonight and it looks really good! I've had a little taste (saving it for tomorrow) and you can clearly taste the lime. I love the crunchy biscuit base and the sweetened cream adds extra indulgence whilst cutting through the rich filling.
As mentioned this is for AlphaBakes which I am hosting this month with my co host Caroline from Caroline Makes. The letter is K for Key Lime Pie. The round up will be ready later tomorrow or Monday at the latest - apologies for the delay.

I just love Key Lime Pie, the whole sweet and sharp thing with the lime and condensed milk is magic!
ReplyDeleteI am now totally in love with key lime pie and have made this twice more!
DeleteOooh that looks so good I adore KLP too. Love that sharp sherbet lime thing!
ReplyDeleteMy new favourite dessert, yum!
DeleteYears since I had key lime pie. Looks divine! Sorry..... I was just a bit too busy to get my head around 'K' this month!
ReplyDeleteMe too and I can't get enough of it now. Hope you can join in AlphaBakes this month.
DeleteSuch a bright, zesty and zingy bake! Hope you're feeling better and find the can opener soon!
ReplyDeleteMuch better thanks and yes I found my can opener and various bits and bobs.
DeleteLooks really good! Hope everything settles down for you soon.
ReplyDeleteFeels more like home now :)
DeleteAnything requiring hobnobs and condensed milk is always a winner in my eyes!
