Sara Lee Key Lime Pie - Product Review

1.) Sara Lee Key Lime Creme Pie.  This is a delicious pie if you enjoy a sweet-tart flavor.  And it taste just as good, if not better, than a homemade Key Lime Pie.  It is often difficult to get the crust and filling of a homemade version to set and hold together properly.  But the Sara Lee pie is perfect every time.

2.) The pie comes covered in a plastic dome, which keeps it looking nice during transport and makes it easy to store left-over portions.

3.) The pie has a graham cracker crust, lime chiffon-type filling, and a whipped topping ring on top. 

4.)  You can defrost the entire pie if it will be consumed within a few days.  Or you can slice it while frozen and then defrost the individual pieces as desired.
