EASY PEASY NO-BAKE KEY LIME or LEMON PIE 5 AUGUST 2022
Hard to believe, but I've been asked what, if anything, I've baked since the macaron debacle. Nothing, actually; it's taken us this long to finish those cookies. It's hot & humid today, with storms coming on, so I grabbed the recipe for 3-Ingredient Key Lime/Lemon Pie that Patricia shaired with me. The mixing station, overseen, as usual, by the flamingos perched on my recipe box . . . I was, as per usual, impatient and didn't let the cream cheese get to room temperature . . . . . . and I cleaned off the beaters AFTER putting the mix into the pie crust, leaving a few cream cheese lumps. Oh well . . . After 1.5 hours in the fridge (again, impatience did me in), I served us each a slice. Well, more like a mound . . . . . . but pile on enough whipped cream and no one will notice. (Neal always says he likes a little bit o' pie with his whipped cream, and I'm glad to oblige.) He brought home some lovely ORGANIC strawberries, so I used one for decoration. And some powdered sugar. Tasted delicious. Now I have to think of something to make with two quarts of lovely strawberries. I remember seeing a video of a Strawberry Cheesecake Roll that I might try. Stay Tuned, and keep those forks handy!
However, if you DO feel like baking, here's a wonderful Key Lime Pie recipe I've used for years . . .
LATER 5 AUGUST ADDENDUM After some more time in the fridge, the pie DID set up nicely. 21 AUGUST ADDENDUM I made it again, this time using the WHISKS instead of the beaters. NOT ONLY is it lump-free, it is melt-in-your-mouth light.

FAILED IT!
