This is a delicious dessert, and can be prettily decorated just with a few slices of limes, some mint, or any available decoration, or served plain.  It’s a versatile tart sure to please the whole family.  Just add some tequila in the lime juice to turn it into a grown-up party dessert!

    When ready to serve, decorate with slices of lime, keylime and sprigs of mint

Notes

I baked this pie for Cinco de Mayo but it’s perfect for any occasion! You can add or omit the Tequila… The taste is tart from the lime, and sweet from the condensed milk.  If you prefer less sweet desserts, you can use 1 and 1/2 cans of condensed milk and 1/2 can of evaporated milk.  Very easy to make, for example prepare and bake it in the morning, cool and refrigerate for 5 to 6 hours and serve it in the afternoon or evening. This recipe is adapted from Italian Chocolate.
