Comments

This is so easy, anyone can make them. Basically, you make the crust and soft bake it, and then you stick everything into a blender, pour it, bake it, and that is it!

Options: Use freshly picked oranges, limes, or grapefruits too! (Use only 1/2 of the grapefruit peel and try to take the pith off).
