Florida key lime pie is tart custard from key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks baked into a graham cracker crust and topped with whipped cream.
Key lime pie originated in the Florida Keys in the late 1800s, when sweetened condensed milk and graham crackers reached the islands by railway and key limes grew wild around Key West. The Borden company introduced sweetened condensed milk in 1856 and Florida cooks used it because fresh dairy was scarce in the Keys. Florida named key lime pie the official state pie in 2006. Orlando's P is for Pie in Audubon Park bakes a celebrated slice version, and most Florida-leaning bakeries and seafood spots like The Boathouse run a key lime version on the dessert menu.
