RESOLUTION NO. 104 - 2022
A RESOLUTION BY THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DESIGNATING KEY LIME PIE
AS THE OFFICIAL DESSERT OF MONROE COUNTY AND
THE FLORIDA KEYS.
WHEREAS, in 2006, the Florida Legislature designated Key Lime Pie as the
official Florida state pie when it enacted F.S. 15.052; and
WHEREAS, the recipe for Key Lime Pie originated' in the Florida Keys portion of
Monroe County; and
WHEREAS, designating Key Lime Pie as the official dessert of Monroe County
furthers it's historical and cultural significance to our county and its visitors; and
WHEREAS, Key Lime Pie is versatile to make and turns out bright and fluffy
much like the bright sun and fluffy clouds the Florida Keys are known for; and
WHEREAS, in 2022, the State of Florida Legislature designated "Strawberry
shortcake with natural Florida dairy topping" as the official Florida state dessert when it
enacted F.S. 15.0522, and
WHEREAS, while legislation designating "Strawberry shortcake with natural
Florida dairy topping" as the official state dessert did not de -designate Key Lime Pie as
the official Florida state pie, the new legislation has led to confusion as to the official
status of Key Lime Pie as the appropriate dessert choice for discriminating diners; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds it necessary to designate Key Lime Pie as the
Official Dessert of Monroe County and the Florida Keys to resolve that confusion and to
encourage our residents and visitors to celebrate the history and culture of the Florida
Keys by enjoying a slice or three of Key Lime Pie.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD
OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, THAT:
