Dark & Stormy Pie
- Serves 1 (if it's me) or 8
Author Notes
The ladies of Rolling Pens humbly and eagerly present you with the Dark & Stormy Pie. Inspired by one of my favorite drinks (the dark and stormy, of course), this pie has it all; lime, ginger, and yes you guessed it- rum. So without further adieu, we bring you the Dark & Stormy Pie. Ginger graham cracker crust, key lime filling, rum whipped cream. Wash it down with a dark and stormy. Eat it on its own. Either way, you're going to want to make this pie. Like, right now. —Catharine Dahm

- Lather rum whipped cream on pie. If you're feelin' crazy, sprinkle candied ginger on top. Cut, serve, and watch every face in the room grin from ear to ear. *Pat yourself on the back*
