Satisfy your sweet cravings with this delicious recipe for key lime pie. Made with a homemade cashew-based crust and a tangy key lime filling, this recipe is a step above your average lime pie.

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup ground cashews
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 can (14 ounce size) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup key lime juice
Key lime zest
To make the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cashews, sugar and butter. Using the back of a large spoon, press the crumb mixture firmly and on the bottom and side of an 8- or 9-inch pie dish. Chill or freeze the crust for 10 minutes before filling.
To make the filling, combine the sweetened condensed milk and key lime juice. Mix at a low speed with a hand mixer and blend well.
Pour the filling into the cashew graham cracker crust and refrigerate overnight (or freeze for one hour and return to the refrigerator if you need to serve it before then).
Garnish the key lime pie with lime zest and serve with whipped cream or meringue.
NOTE: The filling may be made with 4 egg yolks to give added color to the pie. Combine the yolks and sweetened condensed milk before slowly adding key lime juice. Follow the same procedure as above.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
