Nutritional values

As a "Key Lime Pie", the cake is loved not only in Florida, but all over America. With just one piece, you cover a quarter of your daily requirement of vitamin A, which is known to be indispensable for good vision.

If you like it even more sour or want to save on sugar, take unsweetened condensed milk and sweeten the cream with agave syrup.
