Key lime pie

So, key lime pie is a yummy dessert that's made with a few ingredients: key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and a graham cracker crust. The pie gets its name from the type of lime used, called a "key lime," which is a small, round lime that's grown in Florida.

To make the pie, you start by mixing together the sweetened condensed milk and key lime juice. The sweetened condensed milk is kind of like really thick sugary milk that comes in a can, and it makes the pie nice and creamy. The key lime juice adds a tart, citrusy flavor to the pie.

Next, you put the mixture into a graham cracker crust. A graham cracker crust is made by crushing up graham crackers and then mixing them with some sugar and melted butter. Then you press the mixture into a pie pan to make a crust for the pie.

Finally, you bake the pie in the oven for a little while until it's set. Then you let it cool off and put it in the fridge until it's cold and ready to eat. And that's how you make key lime pie!
