I make lime pies often, how can I not make this as this is my hubby’s favorite dessert…<\/p>\n

For this month’s food meetup, I had made lemon pie for dessert and this turned out to be a huge hit. Usually, I make this with ready-made pie crust, so I just have to make the filling which could be made in just a matter of seconds. After just 15 minutes of baking, lime pie comes out of the oven most deliciously. Isn’t this the one dessert you could make even on days of extreme laziness? May be not during extreme laziness, but of course on days with mild laziness and extreme sweet craving.<\/p>\n

I am so lucky that this dessert is my hubby’s favorite and he didn’t fall for anything which called for hours and hours of mixing and baking.<\/p>\n

Couple of days before the meetup, I had searched for desserts that I could make easily and at the same time that would impress my foodie friends. And I stumbled upon a recipe for lime pie at Martha Stewart’s website. The moment I read the recipe I made up my mind to make that with few atlerations. I used lemons instead of limes. The crust was made with ground pistachios and Graham-Cracker crumbs. I loved the addition of pistachios while making the crust and the light green color the crust had made this a perfect dessert for St. Paddy’s day themed meetup.<\/p>\n

I’ve made few alterations to the original recipe.<\/p>\n
