Chilled Lime Pie

Yes, I have finally begun blogging at the repeated insistence of a few people who mean the world to me (you know who you are ;))


Being my first blog post, I would like this one to begin on a sweet note.  The dessert I present to you'll is light, creamy and has a refreshing hint of lemon in it; just the perfect sweet indulgence to battle the heat!

So, without further ado, let's begin-
