Key Largo? Well, there’s always The Blond Giraffe in Tavernier...
Key Lime Pie is my favorite. Now that it’s gone, I’ll miss it, even though I never had Cosco’s
I'll let you know in a few years how the first pie turns out.
Mrs. L made an amazingly good Key Lime pie 3 days ago. It’s gone. We ate every bit.
Best,
L
See post #4. *chuckle*
This stuff is the secret to a really good home made Key Lime pie. Make your own crust, tho. Them store bought things are nasty. 16 graham crackers and 6 Tbsp of melted butter. Then follow the recipe on the bottle.
Delicious. Did I mention real whipped cream and not that stuff in the can?
Enjoy.

P.S. Mrsl L is making another one today.
I went on a sailing trip with 7 other people on a 42 foot catamaran some years ago, and we went to some island I cannot recall which was somehow known for the best Key Lime pie in the Caribbean. It was also known for its cat population, for some reason.
We all went ashore, each of us couples thinking we would surprise all the others by going to this famous bakery and bringing back a couple of pies for dinner.
We ended up with eight Key Lime pies...:)
I like Key Lime Pie, but good gosh, I was so sick of it after that!
Publix has very good Key Lime pie. I can only get it when we go south because there are no Publix stores here in Pa.
Yup! And cannolis, too! Mmmmmm...
I keep waiting for Publix to arrive here, too. Not holding my breath though, just praying for the event to happen in my lifetime.
I think that I've shopped at over 100 different locations across the country. Their selection varies a small amount.
I was able to get an Italian sausage at the Costco out at the end of Long Island, could have purchased a frozen whole suckling pig in McAllen and did buy a home school size box of Fruit Loop Unicorns in Utah. Still working on a visit to one of the Taiwan Costco.
We'll see if they are from the same factory bakery, if not purchasable anywhere.
The key lime pie at Costco is great.
Hope Town on Elbow Cay, Abaco, the Bahamas. No cars and only two grocery stores, both small. You have to place an order and hope you were early enough. What you get is a real key lime pie, better than any I have eaten.
I think that is it!!!!
Hahaha, we ran aground a little going in there, and had to dive over the side to check the bottom, no damage and didn’t have to get pulled off, but only a slightly bruised ego on the part of our captain!
I’m not sure that the guy who made these is still alive and/or working. He was a little long in the tooth last time I was there, but his family has been on Elbow Cay since they left Charleston at the end of the Revolutionary War (they were Loyalists). I’m sure that someone in the family are still making those pies.
Well, Key lime pie does freeze well. I’m the same way when I go home for the holidays and need my fix of Lebanon bologna. My wife and I go shopping, and she says, “You only need one or two packs.” I end up with regular, sweet, double-smoked and have six or seven packs in the cart. Same goes for perogies. It’s hard to find sauerkraut-stuffed perogies in Alabama. In fact, I’ve never found any.
Thanks! I just pulled our Key Lime pie out of the oven.
Needs 3-1/2 hours to cool.
Give me patience, Dear Lord.
Here’s the recipe. Add two or three extra tablespoons of butter to the crust recipe. Tamp it firmly into the pie pan. Don’t go gorilla on it, just make sure it’s firm before you bake it.

Actually, the original phrase is "The proof of the pudding is in the eating," meaning that one knows it's good if many people will eat it. Or, you won't know if something is good until you try it.
