I made this for jill’s dad on his birthday. he had mentioned loving key lime pie a number of times, so i thought it was perfect. i used this great recipe from ann richardson at allrecipes.com, and i didn’t change a thing (i trust anything with three cans of sweetened condensed milk). i even used a store bought graham cracker crust, and it came out great. after it came out of the oven and had cooled completely, i added a layer of whipped cream, garnished the top with slices of lime, and stuck it in the freezer. it was great the next day. and even better the day after.
