Key lime pie is a favorite dessert at my house and no one ever seems to complain about it. The only problem is that I cannot eat the whole thing in one sitting. One day I decided to put the rest of it in the freezer. This was a great idea because now I can really enjoy my key lime pie and not worry about having leftovers. When I got ready to eat it, I pulled it out, put it on a plate and let it defrost until its room temperature.
