Key Lime Pie

Ever since my husband and I went to Key West on vacation and tasted Blond Giraffe's Key Lime Pi we were hooked. It was delicious and I couldn't wait to make it at home!! While at the shop in Key West we bought their key lime juice and it had a recipe for the filling on the back. I made it Friday night and WOW it was delicious!!
