Let's enjoy some Key Lime Pie that my granddaughter requested to make after school, shall we? The sweet vase was sent to me from a blogging friend, several years ago. I actually found the little teapot for $1.50, which is from County Cork, Ireland, at a local flea market, several years ago. I was thrilled to find it since my relatives hail from there.
I bought this teacup on eBay and I just love the crazing, and time-worn look of it. It's such a pretty pattern, named Rolland, by Johnson Brothers. It has such a lovely raised embossed border, and Celtic design.
Here is Cissy pouring the filling into to six mini graham cracker crusts and one regular crust, which she took home for her family.
Mmmmmm....but of course, the best part is licking the beaters!
Cissy even made some free-form shamrocks for decorations out of some melted chocolate that we put into a baggie, and snipped the corner. If you'd like to try Cissy's favorite pie, go here for the recipe for this Easy Key Lime Pie.

ReplyDeleteThe teaset is perfect for this time of year. I hope you are going to make a family recipe book, including all the fun pic's of your grands making the recipes. That is if you haven't already. Love key lime pie!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration that always comes from your blog, Kitty! And what an adorable granddaughter you have [love those dimples]. How wonderful that you bond with your grandchildren through your love of cooking and baking. Lovely theme post today with beautiful Irish teaware, and a great dessert.
ReplyDeleteKitty, it's hard for me to imagine how you stay so tiny with all of that baking that goes on at your house. So much fun and memory making. :)
ReplyDeleteCissy is darling!

I just love that teacup! It is just darling. Look at that sweet little one. With those dimples she reminds me of our SweetCheeks.
ReplyDeleteI have a post going up later about Key Lime pie, too. My recipe is just a tad different than yours. (Great minds think alike, I guess)...
Have a lovely week- xo Diana
Hi Kitty, what fun and Irish inspired. I love key lime pie. Your sweet Cissy is such a great little homemaker. She will carry these wonderful skills learned from you all her life. Love your darling setting. The teacup and teapot are beautiful. How wonderful you have family from Ireland. I do as well. My grandfather is from Dublin. We hope to go visit one day.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy a great week.
Love and joys to you. my friend. xo
Cissy is becoming quite the baker! Your Irish teapot was a great score. I'd love to add a shamrock teacup to my collection.
ReplyDeleteI love licking the beaters and my kids did too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stacey about all the baking you do and you stay so trim!
Cissy is adorable.
Have a lovely week, Kitty.
Hi Kitty,
ReplyDeleteI'm back again so let's see if I have better luck posting this comment! I love your teapot and cup. So nice to have these coordinating pieces for all the holidays!! I think you must have a teapot for every holiday, don't you? LOL! I can't believe you found this one for a $1.50. Quite a bargain! Looks like Cissy is enjoying herself as usual baking with her grandmother! She is learning the trade from one of the best! Not only is she acquiring great skills but think of all the sweet memories! That key lime pie looks wonderful too! It's one of my favorites especially in the summer! Enjoy the rest of the week!xo

Such a fabulous and easy recipe...perfect for St. Patty's day huh? Cissy sure is having tons of fun in grandma's kitchen...making great memories together. As always, an awesome post. You share the best photos! AND recipes too!
ReplyDeleteKey lime pie is one of our family's favorite desserts. I love your Irish themed shamrock china and decorations.
ReplyDeleteKitty, I agree with Cissy, licking the beaters is the best part :) Sweet teacup and what a bargain find on your tea pot. I love your pretty pillow too! I'm wishing I had a mini Key Lime pie this morning. ☘
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the best part is most definitely licking the beaters {{smiles}} Such a sweet post, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful Tuesday. Love and hugs!
My granddaughter loves Key Lime pie and we'll have to make this when she comes in a few weeks. (We lick beaters too!!)
ReplyDeleteSince key lime pie is not an offered option in Canada, everyone knows I order it everywhere when we go out for dinner or lunch in Florida. I must say I like the tart size that you and Cissy made and tell her the chocolate shamrock on top is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI have never had keylime pie not sure though lol.. its always wonderful to cook with grandchildren... lovely tea set Have a wonderful day with love Janice
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is going to be a good cook and baker when she grows up. :)
ReplyDeleteI've made lemon meringue pie, but never key-lime pie. This recipe sounds delicious as does the traditional one you have shared. I'll have to give one of them a whirl, I think my family would love it ;)
ReplyDeleteWendy
Kitty, my husband loves key lime pie. I've never made it but you have inspired me to do so! What a sweet little teapot and teacup. xo
ReplyDeleteLooks like your darling granddaughter inherited your talent in the kitchen. The little pie looks yummy.

ReplyDeleteKitty I haven't been by in forever, planting season came early this year. Now that it's a cold weekend I've finally had a chance to sit down and read my favorite blogs and you don't disappoint. I'm a key lime kind of girl. I'm going to have to make this soon. I just need a warm day.
