During my family trips to Florida, I've had Key lime pie from many restaurants, and each one is different. I wanted to create my own spin on the pie to make it my signature dessert. Whipped egg whites in the filling make it light and mousselike, sweet raspberries balance the tartness, and coconut and cashews amp up the tropical flavor. Garnish with fresh raspberries and toasted shredded coconut if you'd like. -Elise Easterling, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
