5. What sweet is the State Dessert of Florida?

Answer: Key lime pie

The Key lime pie is made from the juice of Key limes, grown in the Florida Keys. The juice from these limes is yellow rather than green. This pie came about because it uses sweetened condensed milk out of a can. This was important when refrigeration was not common in the Keys.
