Key Lime Pie: Blue Heaven vs. Blonde Giraffe Key Lime Pie Factory
The Key lime pie is a famous dessert that truly suits its climate. The smooth, custardy pie topped with either whipped cream or meringue is both tart and cooling and can perk up anyone after a day in the hot sun.
Key lime pie is the official state pie of Florida, and consequently there is tons of competition between bakeries to produce the best pie in the state.
