Key West’s Pier House Resort & Spa new signature dessert, the Mile High Key Lime Pie.
While key limes are abundant in South Florida, the key distinction to this famed dessert is the meringue topping at One Duval, the signature restaurant of Pier House Resort. The decadent pie has the perfect lemon color with refreshing tartness and firm custard like texture in a graham cracker crust. This award-winning dessert is made in-house by Executive Chef Maria Manso, using the same recipe that originated at Pier House in the 1970s. The filling is more traditional but the topping is what creates a spectacle–puffy, toasted merengue piled way up high–make that mile high. (This is the tallest key lime pie meringue topping that we know of.)
