Maximum Living Key Lime Pie
March 1, 2007

Key Lime Pie is a dessert that is guaranteed to help you experience the lifestyle of the Florida Keys. It's smooth, sweet and definitely tropical, invented in the Florida Keys many years ago, before refrigeration, in a time of abundant Key Limes. Canned milk's longer shelf life beat the heat; paired with the acidity of Key Limes, it naturally cooked itself. So put on a little steel-drum island music,

and let's get started – it's time for Maximum Living Key lime Pie!

Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter melted
