Notes
You can serve this Key Lime Pie plain or topped with whipped cream, or you can garnish it with extra grated lime rind. And in case you were wondering, no baking is needed because the thickening of the filling is a result of the reaction of the milk with the lime juice. As with any dish containing raw eggs, be sure to store this in the refrigerator.
