Today: Key lime cuties.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]The tropics may have sent us their weather (how rude), but they also sent along some tasty dessert inspiration: teeny, tiny key lime pies.
For a few bucks and five minutes of work, I was able to whip up six of these little cuties. Sometimes shortcuts (pre-made pie crust!) are the way to go. Especially when you have flashlights to find, water jugs to fill, and storms to fear.
It seems the worst of Irene has passed, and so far, we’ve been really lucky. And not just because we have sweet somethings to snack on. I hope you’re all faring just as well. Safety first, fun second.
Also On Tap for Today:

Where do you find inspiration for your favorite foods?

I love miniature versions of ANYTHING, but even better when its key lime pie. I always forget how much I love key lime pie until I eat it!
I spy a #hls spoon…

Truthfully, I sort of winged it! Juice from 4 limes, 3 egg yolks, and a splash of skim milk– whipped in a bowl, and heated until it bubbled– cooled, and poured into pre-made, mini pie crusts. Topped with a lime wedge and fresh lime zest. 🙂
