Get ready… prepare yourself… this is going to knock your socks off… Chocoloate covered Key Lime Pie on a stick!
Yes, you read it correctly! Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe offers a frozen slice of Key Lime Pie ’stuck’ and dipped in Belgian chocolate, complete with a graham cracker crust. Either in semi-dark chocolate or white chocolate… a foodie’s dream!
Several years ago, i was given a case of these things and darn near ate myself to death. I called every foodie I knew and told them to rush over to my office for a slice of tropical heaven. Those faithful foodies quickly trekked to Northwood University and all considered the lies they told to leave their workplace worth every sinful word. We all sat around (eating several each) allowing the frozen treats to melt in our mouths.
The consistency of the treat is rather firm, but not break your teeth hard. Since I prefer frozen types of desserts, I found this heavenly. As the dessert more adjusts to room temperature, the most luscious the treat. The combination of the graham cracker crust, tart Key lime filling and Belgian chocolate coating will electrify your taste-buds.
Now, shipping on these items will cost you a pretty penny. BUT, it will be a treat you never forget. Heck, let’s just head down to the Keys and save shipping cost!
I had one of these in Key West a couple of weeks ago, and they are INCREDIBLE. At first I was a little skeptical, but they are soooooo good!
While these are interesting, I found the best “untraditional” version of a Key lime pie to be at Porky’s BBQ — in Marathon, I think…it’s fried Key lime pie. Just as skeptical as you were about this stick version, this fried one won me over after a bite.
Hard trip: my boyfriend and I tasted about 80 pieces of Key lime pie at every stop along the way in the Keys for a Post travel story.
Needless to say, we weren’t yearning for pie for a long while afterwards.
These are delicious. I also had them from another vendor at the Cotton Pickin’ Fair in Gay, Georgia (a great weekend getaway in May and October). They are cool and refreshing.
Wow. I miss good old key lime pies from Florida! This looks fantastic.
