8/19/2023 0 Comments Key west key lime pie![]() ![]() I got my first taste of Key Lime Pie while having breakfast at Blue Heaven. ![]() My curiosity piqued and my appetite followed… As my quest for Key Lime Pie continued, I heard of restaurants serving deep-fried pie and pie smoothies, as well as shops selling chocolate-covered pies on a stick? I’m a big fan of dessert so I thought I would sample a few slices and see if I could weigh in on this foodie dilemma. My eating adventures lead me to plain slices of pie and others covered with chocolate drizzle, slices of pie served chilled and slices of pie served frozen, not to mention slices topped with with merengue, whipped cream and cool-whip…but then things got weird. Upon arriving in Key West, I learned that the population is divided into two camps: there are those who believe the original recipe calls for meringue, while the other half insists it should be whipped cream. I may not have been able to narrow the search down to ‘the best pie’ (that might require a follow up visit and some more ‘sampling for research’), however, I did end up discovering a whole lot of unique variations of the dessert. I’d like to tell you that this was strictly for ‘research purposes’ as I embarked on a quest to find the best Key Lime Pie in the Keys, but let’s be honest, I just like to eat pie and when it’s listed on every single menu, it only makes it that much easier for me to indulge in a little sweet somethin’ somethin’. Confession time: during my recent visit to the Florida Keys I ate Key Lime Pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day.
