Key Lime Tarts

August 30th, 2011

Up until this past week, I had never tried key lime pie. As a lemon meringue enthusiast, I always chose the familiar favorite when given the opportunity. The thing I never realized was that key lime pie has a graham cracker crust, which in my opinion, is far superior. Since everything tastes better in miniature form (e.g. M&Ms minis), I made individual tarts using this recipe. It didn’t call for meringue, but I added it anyway (recipe here) and was so impressed with the results, that I’ve decided it’s my new favorite pie.

    I LOVE a key lime pie. We don’t really do them here in Australia but I did make one years ago from scratch and it was delicious! And yours look amazingly delicious with the meringue on top.

    Whoaaa, you’d never had key lime pie before?! My father was raised in the Florida Keys, and it’s huge down there… so it’s always been a big part of my life. Glad you enjoy!!!
