Key Largo Chocolates
Kristie Thomas has taken her passion for baking Key lime cakes and crafting chocolate shells into a creative niche for truffles, each handmade from natural ingredients including the best chocolate from around the globe.
Chocolate's rich, dark history dates back 2,000 years according to historians, but visitors to Key Largo are discovering a newfound love of cocoa confections thanks to the talents of Kristie Thomas. As well as being the culinary creator behind Key Largo Chocolates, currently she is the only chocolatier in the Florida Keys.
A year ago, Key Largo Chocolates, a storefront located at mile marker 99 bayside, was spurred on from Thomas' success with her first love — Key lime cakes. Not a professional baker, she attended cake school for cake design and decorating, and dabbled in making her daughter's Key lime wedding cake in addition to decorative and delectable chocolate seashells.
Thomas' pumpkin pie-less spiced truffle recently won first place in the dessert category at the 30th annual Key Largo Cookoff. However, there's no pumpkin in them — just secret spices.
The Key Largo kudo is not the only award Thomas has won. Her Key lime truffles placed second in a nationwide taste competition in Atlantic City, behind an offering from the Ruth's Kris steakhouse conglomerate.
We're just a little chocolate company, Thomas said modestly. We've grown in leaps and bounds, and we enter contests and festivals as often as we can to help our growth spurts.
Thomas' Key lime confections include freshly squeezed, locally grown limes. With the help of a pastry chef, she creates six- and eight-inch Key lime cakes and cupcakes in addition to rum cakes, a rapidly growing flavor favorite. Her passion for working with chocolate runs as deep.
The chocolatier says keeping the chocolate for her truffles tempered, or at a temperature ideal for its sheen and consistency, is a challenge in the humid climate of the subtropical Florida Keys since chocolate can absorb moisture.
To make up to 300 truffles a day, the chocolate needs to be perfect, said Thomas. With air conditioning and dehumidifiers, she manages to keep her kitchen near a cool 68 degrees.
Entering the tiny but vibrant shop, visitors are greeted by a daunting display of aromatic chocolates to choose from, each a shiny melt-in-your-mouth nugget of heaven. Packaged in lovely boxes, the truffles tempt customers to sneak a sample even before they make it out the door.
In addition to the storefront, some Upper Keys hotels as well as Key Largo and Islamorada retail stores carry Key Largo Chocolates. Patrons at Key Largo restaurants might also be fortunate enough to find a mousse-filled chocolate seashell on the dessert specials menu.
No matter where her morsels are found, Thomas aims to please. She delights in the satisfied faces of her customers that testify how irresistible her creations can be.
People like to treat themselves, she said. People love chocolates.

How to Make a Key Lime Pie with Kermit - Key West style
How to make Key Lime Pie, Key West style
Virtually every travel destination boasts a signature dish that shouldn't be missed by the curious traveler. For example, there's New Orleans' jambalaya, Chicago's deep-dish pizza and Philadelphia' cheese steak sandwich. In the Florida Keys & Key West, that dish is Key lime pie.
Key lime pie is made from the Key lime, a fruit indigenous to the Florida Keys that's smaller and rounder than limes found in a grocery store. Key lime pie is the official pie of the State of Florida, and millions of slices are savored every year by visitors and locals.
While the pie's exact birthdate and creator are unknown, it was likely created in Key West in the late 19th century — predating refrigeration and the Overseas Railway that brought fresh ingredients like milk to the island at high speed.
Recipes for the original Key lime pie did not require refrigeration or baking. Instead, the acid in the Key lime juice reacts chemically with the other ingredients, a process called souring, and cooks the pie.
The typical ingredients of an authentic Key lime pie are sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, Key lime juice and a piecrust generally made from butter and graham crackers. The egg yolks give the pie a yellowish coloring; green pies are not authentic.
I'm always amazed that these simple ingredients can make such a wonderful pie, said Kermit Carpenter, resident Key lime pie expert and the owner of Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe.
In this video, you can watch Kermit make the pie that made Key West famous!
Ingredients:
200 g chocolate digestive biscuits
50 g butter, melted
1 x 325 g can condensed milk
Bottle of Key Lime juice
6 eggs
Preparation method:
1- Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6. To make the pie base, pop the biscuits into a roomy plastic bag and secure at one end. Crush, with a rolling pin, until they resemble crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the melted butter. Stir well to combine.
2. Tip the crumbs into the base of a 22cm loose-bottomed cake tin, pressing down well with your hand.
3. To prepare the filling: Take the yokes from the 6 eggs and add the sweetened condensed milk.
4. Blend this together, and then add the a cup of key lime juice. Whisk for 1-2 minutes. Pour onto the prepared biscuit base.
5. Place into an oven for 20 minutes
