Nothing ushers in Spring quite like a key lime pie. However, I didn't want to make something that was filled with artificial garbage so I scoured the Internet for a healthier recipe. I found one worth trying on this website, so I gave it a try! Honestly, I think they used a stock photo for their picture because mine didn't even come close to looking like theirs. However, my friends and I, as well as my 7-year-old daughter, loved the taste! So, as the old Louisiana saying goes, "Don't look at it, just eat it!" Bon appétit!
**Please note the recipe doesn't call for Pomegranate juice. I positioned the bottle in this ingredient grouping by mistake. However, you can enjoy this delicious Key Lime Pie with a small glass of Pom Wonderful. :)
