This recipe comes from one of our most favorite customers and instagram followers @mrslubner. She dropped us an email to share with us how she’s using our vanilla.
"Here is the BEST key lime pie recipe in all the world. What I like most about it is that it is true to the original key lime pie. It’s not green as you often see in a restaurant. It’s not a pudding. It’s smooth and tangy and light. And even better is that it’s so easy to make! Hope you try it and love it like my family does!"
