Catahoula’s Key Lime Pie
This key lime pie is just amazing. It comes from Catahoula’s Restaurant in Louisiana’s Cajun Country. Serve it garnished with lime zest, as they do, above, or over our mango purée, shown below.

Remove and let cool. Refrigerate. Serve with dollop of whipped cream and fresh lime zest. Serving plate may be sauced with mango purée.
