Key Lime pie with Pecan Gingersnap crust

Recipe and remarks by: Becky at VintageMixer
I have a key lime pie connoisseur who is a dear friend of mine. Tiffany has her favorites around town and isn't shy about ones she doesn't feel match up to her fine palette. She is the least bit arrogant and one of the sweetest gals I know but she is a key lime pie snob.

She recently created her own key lime pie recipe, that is by far my favorite. I made a slight alteration and decided to make in with a gingersnap and nut crust that I found at Gourmet.com. There are three parts to this pie, the lime curd, the whipped pie filling, and the pie crust. You may make the lime curd and the crust a day in advance. Also, you can use a store bought pie crust if you're in a rush (graham cracker or regular crust). Recipe can be found at: VintageMixer


*Note: The filling is to die for, but I changed the crust to chocolate pecan (Nancy/Alekhouse)

    Key Lime pie is my favorite. It reminds me of when I was a child at Thanksgiving time in Arizona. My Grandma would make about 15 pies and 2 of them were just for me. I have never found any that is like hers.
    Thanks for the post.

    Yeah I know what you mean...how certain foods elicit memories of events past. Every time I eat Sweet potatoes I think of my grandma and all the wonderful dishes she use to prepare for holidays.
