12. Key Lime Pie
Key lime pie takes advantage of a uniquely American fruit: delicious Key limes. Key lime pie was invented by a farmer from Key West, Florida, where these limes originate, and these special limes are smaller and much sweeter than the larger Persian limes that dominate the grocery store. This dessert is made with key lime juice whipped into a rich custard of egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk. It’s most often topped with either a meringue or whipped cream.
