Key Lime Pie
For Father’s Day, I made my dad his favorite Key Lime Pie! This recipe is so simple, and to make it extra special I decorated the pie with palm trees since he loves the islands and the beach!
We spent Father’s Day Weekend at the beach, and the weather was perfect. We got lots of sun and ate so many good meals in honor of dad’s day. We kicked off that Sunday with a delicious brunch consisting of a frittata and Bloody Mary’s. Later that night we had family over and did some grilling. We ended the night with this delicious pie and it certainly did not disappoint.
We recommend serving this pie for guests because 1) it is so so so easy to make and 2) everyone will love the cute decorations just as much as they love the taste!
We’ve started a pie trend for Sunday desserts this summer, so give us some suggestions for new pies to try!
