A Brevard County chef is sharing a recipe for Florida Blueberry Key Lime Pie as part of a new cooking segment on local television. The dish combines ingredients like Florida-grown blueberries and key limes, highlighting the region's agricultural offerings. The recipe was first featured in a March 7, 2026, segment by Fresh From Florida, a local food program that focuses on regional produce and cooking techniques. The program airs weekly on Brevard Public Television and has become a popular resource for home cooks in the area. The pie’s crust is made with graham crackers, Florida sugar, and melted butter, while the filling uses sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and fresh key lime juice. The topping features Florida blueberries mixed with apricot jam and water. The segment comes as the Space Coast Strawberry Fest in Viera prepares for its annual event, which includes a 'Berry Cute Baby Contest' on March 13, 2026. Local farmers have noted increased demand for blueberries and key limes in recent months, with some growers reporting a 20% rise in sales compared to last year. The recipe has been shared online by the program’s producers, who say they receive hundreds of requests for cooking tips each week. The chef, who has worked in Brevard County for over a decade, emphasized the importance of using locally sourced ingredients. 'When you use Florida-grown fruits, the flavor is more intense,' the chef said during the segment. The program’s producers plan to feature more regional recipes in the coming weeks, including a dish made with Florida cucumbers and sweet peppers.
