While grocery shopping this week I noticed some very delicate, beautiful key limes in a lovely green bag and I bought them. I had just seen the episode of Throwdown in which Bobby Flay makes a Key Lime Pie and I wanted to see if I could come up with something similar yet egg free (due to X’s allergy). This pudding was the result. Adapted from this recipe from Throwdown it worked out well. It’s tart and sweet. It’s smooth and creamy. I was thrilled with the result. I hope you enjoy!
