THE SHAPE OF WATER, 2017

One of my favorite films nominated is, The Shape of Water, directed by Guillermo del Toro and staring Sally Hawkins. Thankfully, there are a few great food scenes in this movie that I couldn’t wait to tackle in the kitchen to share with you guys. This key lime pie comes from the beginning of the film when Giles and Elisa visits Dixie Doug’s Pies. They take two slices of key lime pie home and what we see are two incredibly bright green slices of pies. It honestly doesn’t look very appetizing but it makes for such a memorable scene.

This pie is incredibly easy to make and best of all, you can make it in advance. Just remember that the pie needs to be refrigerated for 3 hours before serving to help set the filling. Place the whipped cream on top before serving. Also, if you don’t have access to fresh key limes, just use regular lime juice. It’s much better than use the bottled key lime juice.I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as did!
