Need a yummy St Patty's day treat?! Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of my oldest son. He requested his favorite key lime pie. Now, I don't like to brag but well....this is the best key lime pie you'll ever have! I won't tell you that it was fought over at a church auction and sold for $150! Oops, I guess it's out of the bag now. 😉As for my secret ingredients....here they are in full disclosure! Enjoy! <3💗Emily

Add mixture to baked crust and bake for 15 minutes or until filling has set. Cool on wire rack or chill in fridge. 🍋Topping: In a chilled bowl...Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla until nearly stiff.
