You know, I've never tried Key Lime Pie before. I always imagine it to be too tart for me but, with the chocolate crust it may well be scrumptious.

I love Key Lime Pie . I must stop by and take out a slice . Thanks, Diane .

I made something similar today for the BBQ

Lime Torte

It's a ginger biscuit base and the topping is made of mascarpone and lime zest, juice and icing sugar, it's very quick and easy to make and really scrummy...
