• Easy, delicious and light dessert idea.. goes great with mexican meals. I ran out of key lime juice once and substituted regular lime juice.. works just as well!

Comments

Raspberries are especially nice with key lime. Make a Raspberry Coulis and drizzle it over the slices for a spectacular presentation and fabulous taste.
