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.
