How to Make a Key Lime Pie with Kermit - Key West style
How to make Key Lime Pie, Key West style
Virtually every travel destination boasts a signature dish that shouldn't be missed by the curious traveler. For example, there's New Orleans' jambalaya, Chicago's deep-dish pizza and Philadelphia' cheese steak sandwich. In the Florida Keys & Key West, that dish is Key lime pie.
Key lime pie is made from the Key lime, a fruit indigenous to the Florida Keys that's smaller and rounder than limes found in a grocery store. Key lime pie is the official pie of the State of Florida, and millions of slices are savored every year by visitors and locals.
While the pie's exact birthdate and creator are unknown, it was likely created in Key West in the late 19th century — predating refrigeration and the Overseas Railway that brought fresh ingredients like milk to the island at high speed.
Recipes for the original Key lime pie did not require refrigeration or baking. Instead, the acid in the Key lime juice reacts chemically with the other ingredients, a process called souring, and cooks the pie.
The typical ingredients of an authentic Key lime pie are sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, Key lime juice and a piecrust generally made from butter and graham crackers. The egg yolks give the pie a yellowish coloring; green pies are not authentic.
I'm always amazed that these simple ingredients can make such a wonderful pie, said Kermit Carpenter, resident Key lime pie expert and the owner of Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe.
In this video, you can watch Kermit make the pie that made Key West famous!
Ingredients:
200 g chocolate digestive biscuits
50 g butter, melted
1 x 325 g can condensed milk
Bottle of Key Lime juice
6 eggs
Preparation method:
1- Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6. To make the pie base, pop the biscuits into a roomy plastic bag and secure at one end. Crush, with a rolling pin, until they resemble crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the melted butter. Stir well to combine.
2. Tip the crumbs into the base of a 22cm loose-bottomed cake tin, pressing down well with your hand.
3. To prepare the filling: Take the yokes from the 6 eggs and add the sweetened condensed milk.
4. Blend this together, and then add the a cup of key lime juice. Whisk for 1-2 minutes. Pour onto the prepared biscuit base.
5. Place into an oven for 20 minutes

Best Key Lime Pie in Key West Challenge
For years now we have had a debate in our household over who in Key West has the best key lime pie. This trip to Key West we decided to take it to the streets and found out from the locals as well as tourists who their favorite is, with a grand finale of us having a taste off. Do you think you know who has the best?
Key West Key Lime Pie Eatin’ Contest in July 4 ‘Limelight’
New Yorkers might stage a famous hot dog eating contest each July 4, but a far sweeter treat was in the “limelight” in Key West during the holiday’s “Mile High Key Lime Pie Eatin’ Contest.”
Elliot Zeller of Sunrise, Florida, who is in Key West on his honeymoon, won the quirky competition Monday that celebrates the Florida Keys’ signature dessert. He consumed an entire whipped-cream-topped Key lime pie in 62.62 seconds.
The competition drew 24 entrants who were each challenged to gobble a 9-inch pie faster than their rivals -- without using their hands. Most wore provided safety goggles to keep the whipped cream and sweet yellow pie filling out of their eyes.
“I think I’ve been training for this my whole life,” said Zeller after the contest, his face and beard still smeared with pie. “My wife can vouch I don’t eat with my hands very much, and I’m a very sloppy eater -- so this was written for me.”
Historians believe Key lime pie was born in Key West in the late 19th century, and it was designated Florida’s official pie by the state legislature in 2006. Its main ingredients are condensed milk, egg yolks and Key lime juice, with the creamy filling typically nestled in a graham cracker crust and topped with whipped cream or meringue.
The pie is so popular that few people visit the Florida Keys without sampling at least one slice.
“A lot of people spend the Fourth of July eating hot dogs or eating watermelon, but not here in the Florida Keys. Here in the Florida Keys, we celebrate by eating Key lime pie,” said contest co-producer David Sloan.
The consumption competition was the highlight of Key West’s three-day Key Lime Festival. Other festival events included a Key lime libation showcase, pie-sampling stroll, Key lime cooking class, and a distillery tour featuring tastes of locally-made Key lime rum.

Key West History: Josè Marti Arrived for His First Visit to Key West
José Martí was born in Havana to Spanish immigrants in 1853. From a young age, he dedicated himself to the Cuban struggle for independence. During his life he visited Tampa 20 times, a place with strong ties to Cuba where he consolidated drive and advocacy to bring change to Cuba.
Martí attended university in Spain and studied law and philosophy. He published his first newspaper, La Patria Libre (The Free Fatherland), in 1869 and later El presidio político en Cuba (The Political Prison in Cuba), a protest against the abuse in Cuban prisons. He moved to New York in 1881, where he resided for the next 11 years.
Well-versed in Spanish literature, Martí wrote poems, essays, books, English translations of novels and journal articles. He also informed readers of major events and life in the United States in Spanish-language newspapers as an admirer of the country’s vigor, industry and Constitution.
Besides his literary prestige, Martí became known as a Cuban national hero and was invited to speak at Ybor City’s revolutionary clubs. In November 1891, he arrived to Tampa from New York via the Henry B. Plant railroad. He delivered two of his most famous speeches at El Liceo Cubano (The Cuban Lyceum), Vincente Martínez Ybor’s first cigar factory converted into a theatre, on 13th Street and 7th Avenue. That site became the headquarters of his visits.
Martí's speeches were published and read in cigar factories throughout Tampa and Key West. In both cities, he united different factions under a common cause—Cuban independence.
Martí loved Tampa and its people, and called the city “El Pueblo Fiel” (The Faithful Town). In 1892, he founded the Cuban Revolutionary Party and drafted its basic principles in Tampa. His compelling oratory raised money for the Cuban Independence Movement, and cigar workers offered a portion of their wages to the mission.
Martí and other Cuban insurrectionists were received by Tampa Mayor Herman Glogowski, who transported them from City Hall across the new Lafayette Street Bridge in his carriage to see the newly dedicated Tampa Bay Hotel. He was also hosted at the Pedroso House on 13th Street and 8th Avenue, the current location of Parque Amigos de José Martí (Friends of José Martí Park).
After celebrating his 40th birthday, Martí paid seven visits to cigar factories in Ybor City and held meetings and fundraisers at El Liceo Cubano. The growing number of cigar manufacturers in the city increased financial support for his endeavor.
Among Martí's friends in Tampa elected to City Council were Ramon Rubiera de Armas, Emilio Pons, Candido Martínez Ybor and Ramon Rivero y Rivero. Rivero is noted for having introduced Martí at his speeches, but also for his work as the publisher of many local Cuban patriotic newspapers, such as La Revista de Florida and El Critico de Ybor City.
The Cubans in Tampa frequently traveled back and forth between the city and their homeland. Martí listened to his compatriots’ grievances and reports about the atrocities of Spanish colonial reign, which made Tampa a safe haven to openly discuss their objections and desire to overthrow Spanish regime.
While in New York, a few days after his 42nd birthday Martí signed the order of uprising against Spain. He then directed his secretary Gonzalo de Quesada to deliver it to Fernando Figueredo Socarrás, West Tampa’s first mayor.
Socarrás requested cigar magnate O’Halloran to roll the decree into a cigar, which Quesada (later Cuba’s first U.S. ambassador) carried to Key West on Henry B. Plant’s steamship. There, Quesada handed the cigar to another courier who took it to Cuba aboard Plant’s steamer and gave it to Juan Gualberto Gomez.
Gomez opened the loaded West Tampa cigar with Martí's instructions and ordered Cuban insurrectionists to initiate the War of Independence, which began on February 24, 1895. Martí arrived in Cuba shortly afterward, but was killed in a small skirmish on May 19.
Martí’s “Cuba Libre!” (“Free Cuba!”) dream was ultimately fulfilled on May 20, 1902, when the country obtained independence. Several effigies of Martí are scattered throughout Ybor City, including busts and a statue which stands in José Martí Park.

2017 Key West Key Lime Pie Eatin' Contest
KEY WEST, Florida Keys -- Twenty-one competitors with an appetite for the Florida Keys' signature dessert stepped into the limelight Tuesday during Key West’s Mile-High Key Lime Pie Eatin' Contest.
Attorney Trey Bergman of Houston, Texas, got a face full of whipped cream and pie filling, but emerged victorious after devouring an entire Key lime pie in just 51.92 seconds -- without using his hands.
The southernmost answer to New York’s Fourth of July hotdog-eating competition, the Key West consumption contest is a highlight of the annual Key Lime Festival.
Contestants were offered safety goggles to keep whipped cream out of their eyes, and Bergman added a bright yellow bathing cap to give himself a competitive edge.
He also planned his strategy carefully and reduced calories before the event.
Believed to have originated in Key West in the late 1800s, Key lime pie was designated Florida's official pie by the state legislature in 2006. Its primary ingredients are condensed milk, egg yolks and the juice of the tiny yellow Key lime, with the creamy filling typically nestled in a graham cracker crust and topped with whipped cream or meringue.
