A refreshing summer dessert presents a combination of citrusy flavors and tropical elements. A zesty key lime pie sits on a bed of crushed gingersnap cookies, creating a sweet and spicy base. The pie filling is infused with tangy key lime juice and creamy condensed milk, resulting in a smooth and velvety texture. To add a burst of freshness, slices of juicy, ripe mangoes are arranged on top of the pie, along with a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a tropical twist. A swirl of whipped cream, infused with a hint of coconut extract, crowns the dessert, adding a light and airy element.

Tips

When making this refreshing key lime pie, there are a few ingredients substitution tips to keep in mind. If you don't have access to key limes, regular limes can be used as a substitute for a similar citrusy flavor. If gingersnap cookies aren't available, you can use crushed digestive biscuits or even graham crackers for a different texture. For a dairy-free option, coconut condensed milk can be used instead of regular condensed milk to give the pie a tropical twist.
