Key lime pie, filled with condensed milk, lime, and egg yolks, is considered a traditional dessert of the state of Florida. It was supposedly invented by local sponge fishermen who, spending many days at sea, created a no-bake pie using readily available ingredients. Indeed, the Florida key lime pie recipe is incredibly simple. Firstly, you don't have to knead the dough, as the crust is made from crushed cookies, sugar, and butter. Secondly, the pie is incredibly quick to make. Simply mix egg yolks, sugar, condensed milk, and lime and pour the filling onto the toasted crust. Freeze it, and a delicate, delicious dessert with a slightly tart flavor and a vibrant lime aroma is ready!
