The BEST Key Lime Pie Recipe!

Key lime pie is my absolute favorite dessert! I love the refreshing flavor of the tart but sweet custard combined with the graham cracker crust. It's a light dessert that I would eat everyday if I could. 

I first fell in love with key lime pie during trips to Florida as a kid. As I got older, I started craving it more and more, so I started making it at home. Over the years, I have tried a number of different recipes searching for the perfect recipe that balances the sweet and tart flavor. This recipe from Cooks Illustrated does just that. It's seriously the best recipe and always has me wanting a second slice.

Growing up my grandparents had a garden where they would grow a variety of fruits and vegetables. Every year they would always have an abundance of rhubarb and my grandma would make rhubarb jam. She would always give my family a couple jars. As a kid though, I did not like it and couldn't understand who could like something so bitter. I avoided rhubarb for years because of it. A few years ago, I finally tried it again and loved the sourness. Now every year I look forward to picking up some rhubarb to make some type of sweet from a classic strawberry rhubarb pie to a rhubarb cordial. I simply can't get enough of it!

I recently came across this recipe for rhubarb scones and quickly added them to my must bake list. They were easy to make with a handful of ingredients (I used regular sugar instead of the called for vanilla sugar) and the scones ended up with the perfect balance between sweet and sour. To take them one step further, when serving I topped them with clotted cream (cream cheese would also work) and strawberry jam. The result was the ideal breakfast or afternoon treat to pair with a cup of tea.
