I have a fondness for key lime pie and my husband prefers cheesecake. So, the solution – luscious lime pie. I started with a graham cracker crust and revamped a cheesecake recipe for a pie. I added the rind and juice of one lime and I think I have a winning combination that everyone loves. The added sour cream layer adds just the topping needed for this make ahead pie. You can also serve this with a fruit topping if you desire. I have also seen key lime pie on a stick, dipped in chocolate. Interesting idea to drizzle with chocolate when serving. I am going to try that.
