The Islamorada Key Lime Pie is an iconic dessert originating from the Florida Keys region in the United States. This delicacy gets its name from Islamorada, known as the "heart of paradise," where fresh local limes play a fundamental role in the pie's preparation. In Latin America, although key lime pie is not as common as in Florida, in some countries similar citrus-based desserts are called "pay de limón" or "tarta de limón," adapting to their own ingredients and culinary traditions. This pie combines a creamy and tangy filling with a light, golden topping, reflecting the influence of American cuisine with a tropical touch that evokes the fresh and vibrant flavor of limes.
