Gingersnap “Key Lime” Pie:
"More often than not when I ask people what their favorite pie is, it’s almost always key lime pie. Surprising? Not really. It’s easy and fun to make, and it has a perfect balance of sweet and sour, crumbly and creamy, buttery and salty. Although I love a classic, graham cracker crust, I chose gingersnaps here for their subtle but gingery flavor that pairs nicely with the lime. Now I don’t know if I can ever go back. (Curious to hear if you agree!)" - Nea Arentzen

Key 🍋‍🟩 pie is the best 🥧! Hands down!
I’m not a sweetie person so I always manage to make my pie more acidic than sweet 😅

Thank you for the recipe. I use ginger snap cookie crust for pumpkin pie every year. I agree about what a huge pain in the ass key limes are. Never thought of adding a lemon into the mix -- appreciate the advice.

That looks freaking amazing!! There's a place nearby that makes the bestest super-buttery gingersnap cookies. Can't wait to try this!!

Looks fabulous. Love the lemon hack to make it more key lime-y.

Why on earth would you cut the corner off the ziplock bag instead of just opening it at the seal?

[@brat46]

Mom, sis and hubby like KL pie. Me, no thank you.
