So CrAzY it just might work!

The taste of key lime pie is so light and refreshing! After moving to Southern California I found that I use citrus much more than I ever have before. Lemons or limes!

Having a kiddo down the street who sells the lemons off his family tree is also pretty darned handy. I am a frequent customer of his lemons, blood oranges, and avocados, but if I want limes the place I head is the local Farmer’s Market.

Ohh my!

But fresh fruit isn’t always available to everyone or all year long so when I say this recipe I almost thought Keri was kidding.

I mean use an actual pie for one of the ingredients?

But that is exactly what she did, and after seeing how easy and creative this fun treat was I think I might have to keep at least one of those pies in the freezer for last minute guest or invites. Who am I kidding? I might need to keep an extra pie around for those nights when you just want something special without the fuss or mess!

This is what Keri of Shaken Together has to say about this super easy-no-fuss- dessert dip!

This cool, creamy no-bake Key Lime Pie Dip with bite sized pieces of key lime pie is stirred right in.

Quick Tip: Not a huge fan of Key Lime? Pick out your favorite custard based pie, like a coconut cream, and try that!

Do Not Leave the Farmer’s Market Without Buying Some of These Ingredients!

I love berries. All berries. From canning strawberries fresh from the field to making blackberry cobbler with berries picked in the morning. Sometimes it is hard to decide which berry to centerpiece. Well, the wondering is over. This tart has it all. Literally.
The marscarpone filled tart is topped with whatever berries are in season.

Have you watched the Great British Baking Show? I am totally addicted, like ants on a doughnut. I just cannot get enough of the different baking challenges. Each show someone is eliminated from the baking tent after they have had a challenge, technical, and show-stopper bake. Most of the baked items I had never heard before. That being said, the one thing I have heard several times is “Mascarpone”.

When I saw this recipe I knew it was my time to try my hand at using this cream cheese type of filling. I loved that they also have a shortbread crust. I think the judges would have been very impressed at the Scrummy dessert, provided it doesn’t have a soggy bottom! (For those wondering, the word Scrummy is a blend of scrumptious and yummy! )

So bake on and see if you can create this showstopper sure to please those around you table.

Here is what Allison of Some of the Wiser had to say about this tantalizing looking tart.

The fresh berries tasted amazing all by themselves and I knew it wouldn’t take much to make a great dessert. I started with a simple, short bread crust. I didn’t want a fussy crust, just something easy that I could press into the pan. Plus, I’m a sucker for a delicious cookie crust.

Quick Tip: You can also swap out lime for lemons. It will be a different taste, but very fresh and light.
