I made this for a party and it was a definite hit! I substituted sliced almonds for macadamia nuts because of their cost. 'Just as good, if not better. It really reminds me of a Publix Key Lime Pie when you use almonds.

This was absolutely delicious and once you juice the limes (I used regular Persian limes) it's not that hard. Everyone loved this and came back for seconds. I would really recommend it.
