Updated September 21, 2022 Key Lime Pie with Coconut Macaroon Crust-the sweet coconut macaroon crust makes this key lime pie extra special! Josh isn’t a huge dessert fan, I know, what is wrong with him? 🙂 He loves lime desserts though. I am always trying to come up with new lime recipes for him. A few of his favorites include: Key Lime Pie, Key Lime Tart, Coconut Lime Cupcakes, Lime Bars, and Lime Coconut Snowballs. He is a lime lover! I wanted to mix things up this year so I created a coconut macaroon crust to go with his favorite key lime pie filling! Josh loves coconut too so I knew he would love my twist on the traditional key lime pie. And you really can’t go wrong with the coconut and lime combo! They are a match made in heaven! To get the pie party started, I used my favorite coconut macaroon recipe. Instead of making cookies, I pressed the coconut mixture into a pie pan! I wasn’t sure it would work, but my fingers were crossed:) I partially baked the crust so it would set up a bit before putting in my filling. Next, I whisked up a tart key lime filling to go inside my sweet coconut macaroon crust. I baked the pie and pulled it out! It looked perfect! The crust was light golden brown and the key lime filling was smooth and set! I let the pie chill in the fridge for about an hour and then it was time to slice the pie…and see if my new creation worked:) The pie sliced beautifully! I gave the first slice to the birthday boy and he didn’t hesitate to dig in with his fork. He loved the pie! Yahoo! My new lime dessert was a success! I enjoyed a piece too! I will warn you, this pie is super sweet, so cut small pieces…or enjoy a big piece and go into a sugar coma. Josh didn’t seem to mind his big piece:) Key Lime Pie with Coconut Macaroon Crust is a fun twist on the classic pie! It is fun to mix things up every once in awhile! We love this pie and I think you will too! Enjoy!
