Truly Key Lime Pie Ice Cream image

I searched everywhere for a recipe like this on the 'net. Lots of looking but no success, so here's one I came up with. My family loves this, and it's much more versatile than the 'real thing'(I'm making it into popsicles next)!

Time 1h17m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups milk
⅔ cup heavy cream
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 cup white sugar
1 cup lime juice
2 teaspoons lemon extract
1 (3 ounce) package lime flavored Jell-O® mix
6 whole graham crackers

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over low heat, combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and heavy cream. Cook until warm, whisking frequently. Once the mixture is hot to the touch, whisk in the gelatin mix and sugar, stirring constantly until sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Whisk in the egg yolks, and remove from the heat. Stir in the lime juice and lemon extract.
  • Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. This recipe takes a bit longer to set up than the usual ice cream.
  • Once the ice cream is thick, open the canister, and place large pieces of graham cracker evenly on each side. They will break into smaller pieces as the machine churns. Mix for about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a freezer container, seal, and freeze until solid. I like to use 1 gallon resealable freezer bags.

LEMON OR KEY LIME ICEBOX PIE



Lemon or Key Lime Icebox Pie image

I like this recipe because its simple and if you have children they can help with this one. Plus its a bit tart and sweet too. I have been making this pie for some years now. Best tip is to let your cream cheese get room temp, or heat in microwave unwrapped for 10-15 sec.

KEY LIME PIE



Key Lime Pie image

This is the frozen key lime pie that ends up all over Jack Nicholson's face in the film adaptation of the novel "Heartburn," Nora Ephron's thinly veiled recounting of her disastrous marriage to Carl Bernstein. It is very easy to make, and the large amount of key lime juice guarantees a tart, impressive flavor. We recommend eating it, though, not using it as a weapon.

Tips:

  • If you don't have key limes, you can substitute regular limes. Just be sure to use 1/2 cup more sugar, as key limes are more tart than regular limes.
  • You can easily make this pie ahead of time. Simply bake the crust and let it cool completely. Then, fill the crust with the ice cream and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. When you're ready to serve, let the pie thaw for about 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • For a fun and festive presentation, you can garnish the pie with lime slices, whipped cream, or a sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs.
  • If you have a food processor, you can use it to make the crust. Simply pulse the graham cracker crumbs and sugar together until they resemble coarse sand. Then, add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture comes together. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate and bake according to the recipe instructions.

Conclusion:

With its creamy, tangy filling and graham cracker crust, this key lime or lemon ice cream pie is the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. It's also a great make-ahead dessert, so you can enjoy it anytime. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and delicious treat, give this pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
