Key Lime and Blueberry Pie
Key Lime and Blueberry Pie is my take on a key lime pie with a twist! This key lime pie is loaded with fresh blueberries and filled with a deliciously creamy filling made with fresh limes, egg yolks, fluffy egg whites, and sweetened condensed milk. Then it’s topped with more fresh blueberries.
It’s luscious and smooth filling along with intense tangy-sweet citrusy flavors in every bite. All baked over an oatmeal cookie crust, making this key lime and blueberry pie an exquisite dessert!
This Key Lime and Blueberry Pie is so yummy you can easily whip it up and serve it all summer long.
A delicious combination of tangy lime and sweet blueberries in every bite.
The flavors of citrus and blueberries go very well together, and it makes this dessert extra exceptional. Trust me, everyone will fall in LOVE after their first bite.
Once you try this pie, you’ll probably get rave reviews from your family and friends. They may even ask you for the recipe.
This key lime and blueberry pie is such a delicious dessert!
I bet it’s the first dessert that will disappear as soon as you put in down on your buffet table. It freezes well too.
The best part? The pie is loaded with fresh blueberries inside and on top. Having a burst of fresh blueberries throughout the pie is what makes it stand out from all the others.
Plus, the oatmeal cookie crust adds a lovely touch to this pie. All the flavors are FANTASTIC in this one!
QUICK NOTE:
- For any reason, you can’t find key limes, then we recommend using fresh limes, they’re easy to find at your local supermarket.
