PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER Happy weekend friends! I am so, so excited to be sharing this recipe with you today. This Key Lime Pie recipe (nearly no bake!) is from the cookbook All The Sweet Things by Renée Kohlman of the blog Sweetsugarbean. Is it strange that I have never actually made a key lime pie, in spite of my infatuation with citrus? As soon as I saw the recipe I knew it had to happen, and I love that it’s a less finicky version (no eggs, no baking the filling). It is the perfect mix of creamy and sweet and tart and it is absolutely going to become a regular thing here! This book is literally filled with all the sweet treats you could ever imagine — next on my to-try list are the Sticky Toffee Cookies, Brown Butter Buttermilk Banana Bread (have you ever heard of a more incredible thing?!?), and the Mocha Bundt Cake with Dark Chocolate Ganache. But what I love most of all is Renée’s openness and willingness to share: about herself, about her family, about her past trials and successes. This is not just another cookbook — it’s filled with stories of love and tears and laughter and when I open it I just get the urge to grab my girls and run right into the kitchen to bake (which we did, in fact, just yesterday, and I will be vacuuming sugar and flour off the flour for some time but I swear it’s worth it). Because I’m also a prairie girl, and cooking and baking was a big part of our family as well growing up (as were saskatoons, and I pity anyone who has never had them!), I know this is going to be a book I treasure for a long time. I only hope that I can soak up every second I have with my girls at home and fill them with just as many memories and stories of being in the kitchen together to carry with them (next up: those Sticky Toffee Cookies!). Tips and Tricks for Making this Key Lime Pie:
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that if you wanted, you could make this without turning on the oven and use the chocolate crust used in this No Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake recipe, although baking the crust for that short time definitely does help it to hold up once sliced! I tried — I really did — but I couldn’t find key limes anywhere. It was still delicious! I only needed about 5 to yield ½ cup lime juice.
