Blue Heaven | Key West, Florida

Key West, Florida has a lot of options when it comes to key lime pie. I mean, after all, it was created here. So when evaluating the available options, you’ve got to know what to look for.

Let’s take a top-down approach…

The Merengue

The original key lime pie had that big fully meringue on top, so if what’s put in front of you doesn’t have this, it’s not an authentic key lime pie.

The Filling

The key lime flavor should NOT smack you in the face and make you pucker. It’s a smooth flavor with a hint of bite – it shouldn’t be overpowering.

The Crust

The crust should be slightly crumbly. If that crust is packed tight – it’s not homemade - and we’re looking for homemade - not some mass produced junk.
