Key Lime Pie

The story behind

Originating from the Florida Keys, this pie is an icon of American baking. Its distinctive flavor comes from using small, acidic Key limes, which react with condensed milk to create a silky texture with minimal baking. Presented on a striped kitchen towel with a vintage cake server, it projects a cozy yet professional aesthetic, perfect for a classic pastry catalog.

Instructions

    Mix the crushed crackers with melted butter and press into a pie dish to form the crust.
  2. 2
    Bake the crust for 10 minutes at 180°C (350°F) until set.
  3. 3
    Whisk the condensed milk with lime juice and pour over the pre-baked crust.
  4. 4
    Bake for an additional 15 minutes and let cool completely in the refrigerator.
  5. 5
    Top with whipped cream, zest, and lime slices just before serving for a professional finish.
