"The Florida Keys celebrated its bicentennial Monday along the Gulf of Mexico with a Key lime pie more than 13 feet in diameter — which organizers intend to certify as a world record," the NBC 6 South Florida says.

The festivities marked the anniversary of the Florida Territorial Legislature’s establishment of Monroe County on July 3, 1823 and celebrated its history. The county contains all of the Keys and a portion of Everglades National Park.

"Key lime pie, originating in late 1800s Key West, is a large part of the continental United States' southernmost island chain's heritage. In 2006, Key lime pie was designated Florida’s official pie by the state Legislature."

"Key lime pie is a Floridian dessert pie made with Key lime juice, egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk. It may be served with no topping, with a meringue topping made from egg whites, or with whipped cream. (Wikipedia)

"Traditionally, Key lime pie is made using a graham cracker crust. It may be made with or without baking in a pie crust or without crust.[2] The dish is named after the small Key limes, which are more aromatic than the common Persian limes, and which have yellow juice. The filling in a Key lime pie is yellow because ripe key limes are yellow.

"The filling is made similarly to a Magic Lemon cream pie, by mixing the ingredients without cooking: the proteins of the egg yolks and condensed milk and the acidic lime juice curdle, thickening the mixture without baking. The pies are usually baked to pasteurize the eggs and thicken the filling further."
