FYI, I've never made Key Lime Pie - had it a few times when I lived in
Miami, but once I found out it had SCM, I didn't like it any more.
However, that is the purported AUTHENTIC recipe. So sue me.

My mom made her Key Lime Pie like a lemon meringue pie .... it was
pretty tasty, but it wasn't really Key Lime Pie.
