While traveling in Florida, I make it a point to taste-test as many versions of Key Lime Pie as possible. At home, however, this lighter recipe makes me feel comfortable preparing Key Lime Pie for the family or for dinner parties.

It's like having a taste of summer in every bite. This sweet, yet tangy dessert is quick to assemble but needs several hours to gel.
