Mini Key Lime Pies
Happy Pi Day! We have these cute Mini Key Lime Pies for you to celebrate your Pi Day.
You know those little foil pie tins that store bought pot pies used to come in? We have empty ones for sale! Not only could you make single serving pot pies to freeze for a quick and easy last minute lunch or dinner, but you can also make single serving dessert pies.
They would be great to give as gifts. Or slice them up and serve them as refreshments at your next gathering.
