Key lime pie is an American dessert made with lime juice, egg yolk, and condensed milk in a pastry shell. It is the official state pie of Florida. The classic pie is made with small, tart Mexican limes, which are juicier than larger limes. In this recipe, the shell is made from crumbled graham crackers, layered with lime curd, and topped with whipped cream. A unique feature of this recipe is that the pie is served individually, with each serving in an individual bowl.
