There are certain places in the world that are synonymous with a single dish: Philadelphia and its Philly cheesesteak. Poutine and Montreal. Chicago and deep dish pizza. Tropical Key West is best known for its sweet and tangy Key lime pie. Since Pi Day (March 14th) is only a few days away we figured the timing was ripe for another pie post.

Key West is Known for its Epic Sunsets and, of Course, Key Lime Pie

 

For over 20 years, the folks at Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe have selflessly braved countless numbers of picturesque views and soft sandy beaches in order to produce one of the best tasting key lime pies in the world.

A Slice of Heaven at Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe

 

A classic slice of key lime pie at Kermit’s consists of a tart key lime flavor poured on top of a delicious graham cracker crust topped with light and airy whipped cream. You’d think Kermit’s might leave perfection alone, but oh no, they up the ante on this classic Southern dessert.

A Taste of the Sweet Life at Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe

 

Kermit’s takes sour citrus and turns it into a sweet treat by popping a slice of key lime pie on a stick, freezing it and dipping it into a luscious Belgian chocolate coating. We were skeptical that the key lime pie bar version could hold its own against the traditional pie slice, but the chocolate version was the clear (albeit somewhat messier) champ.

Perhaps the best thing about Kermit’s is that you don’t have to settle for key lime chapstick, you can actually bring a whole pie back with you sans an extra carry on item.
