Key Lime Sauce
"My husband LOVES Key Lime Pie. After a recent trip to Florida, he got a hankering for some, so luckily I found Recipe #161578 Kelly's Rich & Creamy Key Lime Pie which is just delicious and easy to make. But DH wanted me to drizzle a key lime sauce over the pie. So here is a recipe I found that, if desired, goes great with Peacefulnightdove's recipe. This would also be good drizzled over bread pudding, among other things."

This is exactly what I was looking for! At first the cornstarch turned me off a bit so I continued searching for another recipe, but since none was to be found I tried this one. And it turned out perfect! I drizzled it over vanilla ice cream and topped with ground pecans and crushed graham crackers for a key lime pie-like dessert. Very limey, perfect sweetness and consistency. Thanks so much! -
Wow, this stuff is LIMEY. Dh loved it on key lime pudding, but he's a lime addict the way I'm a chocoholic. If you're into lime, this one's for you. -
I've been craving a sauce like this for a loooong time, I'm so glad I found it here =) I used freshly squeezed key lime juice and added about half a tablespoon more of cornstarch to make the sauce a little thicker. I also added a drop of green food colouring and some cubes of Nata De Coco... It's SO good, I used it as a topping for vanilla ice cream, it's PERFECT for it! Thank you!

I am a coastal California girl, relocated to Arizona a few years back now. I never thought I would like Arizona, we were giving this locale a two year trial period. Well I'm here to say I love it here!! The state, the weather, the community and all that goes with it. Our favorite time of day is the morning, sitting out on the back patio with our coffee, watching all the bird life; quails, thrashers, sparrows, woodpeckers, starlings, mockingbirds, wrens and the cottontail bunny rabbits and the occasional coyote passing through the yard. We have wonderful weather 10 months out of the year, great sunsets and great neighbors, who could ask for more! My folks came to visit us, fell in love with the community as well and in three days they bought a place too! My Mom calls me the president of the Chamber of Commerce, because I showed her the benefits and amenities of our community, so that she fell in love with it as well. So I took the next logical step and got my Real Estate license and became a Realtor. I am passionate about my new community, my new profession and all the regional southwest cooking possibilities!
