Then put it to good use by making scrumptious Texas Lime Pie. The recipe comes from Diane Bell (left) of Manvel. "With the perfect balance of sweet and tart, this velvety pie is a great way to beat the Texas heat and Gulf Coast humidity," Diane notes. "With this simple recipe, even a novice cook can make a really memorable dessert," she adds.

TEXAS LIME PIE

Texas Lime Pie image

I needed to use up some fresh limes, and I wanted to make a pie. This is the perfect balance between sweet and tangy. You could probably get away with lime juice from your fridge too. I cheated and used a Marie Callender's pre-made crust to cut down on time, but I do think the graham cracker crust would be even better. Super simple, and you feel like you got a 2-for-1 deal because it makes 2 pies. I found this recipe in America's Best Church Supper Recipes/Taste of Home from Diane Bell of Manvel, Texas. Next time you have a potluck, make 2 pies and keep 1 at home to enjoy. Loved this with fresh whipped cream...MMMM. Waiting for the pie to chill is the hardest part of making this pie. Cook time excludes chilling time.
