I will make just about anything with pomegranates during the fall and winter to show appreciation for the season. But for real, my brain be trying to find ways to add this delicious fruit to a dish. I will be missing pomegranates in the summer so let's have fun while they are still in season.
This was my first time making this twist on a key lime pie, but we love it! We love this pie so much that we are making another one tonight to bring to a get-together this week. Instead of sweetened condensed coconut milk, I used brown rice syrup, and it was perfect. I was worried it would not be sweet enough, but I was wrong. A little coconut whipped cream is the ideal balance of sweetness. Are you looking for something not too sweet, yet creamy and delicious? You have to try this recipe.
