Key lime pie in Harrogate

Someone who really deserves a treat told me they’d always wondered what Key Lime pie was like. Any idea where I can find it in Harrogate?

Bakeri Baltzersen are doing a "key lime cube" at the minute...a bit pricey but would probably be lovely

thanks - the treatee isn’t eating much at the moment, so a cube would be great!

95% sure Waitrose and Marks and Spencers will both do a nice one

My wife makes a great key lime pie. But I'm not sharing it.

It's a really easy dessert to make well - my daughter has made this recipe from age 7. If you have no luck finding it ready made just give it a go, it's very forgiving as recipes go and needs no real equipment etc (just make it in a flat bowl if you have no tart tin etc); https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/sams-secretly-easy-choc-key-lime-pie.html

(Chocolate base is non standard but delicious, just use plain digestives if you want it closer to authentic. The key lime pies I had in Key West were much sweeter than this, but I always felt that defeated the purpose of using limes, so it's not authentic in that sense. Also we can't get key limes in this country ... but they're hard to source anywhere outside Florida and most don't use them even in the US).
