Easy Creamy Key Lime Pie


 I am having one of my most favorite summer recipes of Tomato Tart, which can be found here.

For dessert, I've fixed an Easy Creamy Key Lime Pie, which is cool and refreshing.  Please join me for lunch!

This Rosina teacup is one that I received in the teacup exchange, several seasons ago, at Stephanie's, at The Enchanting Rose.  Stephanie will be having a sign up for her next teacup exchange in September, if you'd like to join in on the fun!


I just had to use my watermelon teapot again before Summer is over.  


This yummy recipe was a favorite of my daughter's and mine, years ago, and I decided to make it.  Her little girl wanted to try it, when she was over, and she LOVED it.  This recipe is lighter and fluffier than the other key lime pie that can be found here.  They're both good!

    Good Morning Kitty, I just love your teapot and the darling cup. Looking forward to another exchange too.
    The tomato tart looks so delicious and the sweet little key lime pie looks so yummy. The perfect late summer afternoon lunch. Thanks for sharing the recipes.
    Looks like rain for us today. A cozy Monday which I love. Have a great day my friend and blessings for a wonderful week ahead. xo

    Key lime or lemon, both of these make my mouth water. '-)
    Your lunch looks tasty. Have a great day, Kitty!

    Such a fun tea table with the watermelon teapot. I love Key Lime pie and we know I've mastered your graham crust. ;-) When in Florida we can occasionally find a Key Lime ice cream which is yummy.
    Have a good week!

    Your sweet watermelon teapot should be used everyday until fall Kitty! Your Key Lime Pie is so easy and refreshing and perfect for the lazy days of summer too. :)

    Mm. Key Lime Pie sounds so refreshing in the heat. And tomatoes are so delicious just now. Your watermelon tea pot adds whimsy to your table.

    Yes, key lime pie is just the thing on hot summer days. Today felt like September (perhaps October) so I felt like baking apple pie.

    You have the best food ideas ever, Kitty!! That watermelon teapot is just adorable & the way you've displayed it, with the green & white gingham cloth just sets it off so nicely. Very pretty teacup, too!
    We used to make key lime pie when we lived in FL with real FREE key limes. I think YOUR recipe sounds much easier. I shall try it as soon as I get some company to share it with.

    Oh my goodness Kitty, two of my favorite dishes. I love tomatoes and the tart looks so delicious. Key lime pie has to be close to the top of my favorites desserts. Love the pink and green tea tablescape. Yes, summer will soon be a memory and I am using a lot of my favorites dishes that will soon be put away.
    Have a great week.

    I would want to use the cute watermelon teapot again too. I could use a piece of your key lime pie but of course, I don't need it. Your tomato tart sounds good too.
    Thinking of you and your upcoming trip.

    The tea cup is beautiful. I participated in Stephanie's last tea cup exchange, and it was a lot of fun. Still pondering whether I should do the next one or take a break this time around. I do have a couple extra tea cups that could find new homes...so we'll see! Love your watermelon teapot! It probably goes without saying that I've never seen one like that before! I've copied your recipe for key lime pie--it looks simple enough that perhaps even I could make it. Thank you for sharing!

    Kitty, today I was cooking with ingredients from my garden. Thanks for the reminder about your tomato tart. I had pinned it, but hadn't tried making it yet. Love your cute watermelon pitcher! Key lime pie is always so refreshing for summer. Glad you will be linking to SYC.

    Kitty, your teapot "shouts" summer in the happiest of ways! A coworker just gifted me with two pounds of lovely tomatoes from her garden. Too many for my salads this week. Can't wait to make the tart. It looks wonderful for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

    Kitty,
    Key Lime anything is a weakness of mine! This looks very easy to make! Tomato tart sounds pretty good too! what a sweet teapot! Every time I see one in a shop I think of you! LOL! I am very much looking forward to the next swap! I'll be keeping my eye out for that! Was just going through all my fall decorations and saw my little pumpkin you gave me from the exchange a couple of years ago. It's so sweet! Have a great week Kitty! Hope all is well!

    Hi Kitty,
    Your Key Lime Pie sounds so refreshing. I love lime jello and my mom used to add mandarin oranges to it. I must try your pie recipe since whip cream is my favourite especially with graham wafers. Love your sweet teacup. Blessings, Karen
