TRULY KEY LIME PIE ICE CREAM



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)!

Categories     Desserts     Frozen Dessert Recipes     100+ Ice Cream Recipes

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.

ICEBOX KEY LIME PIE



Icebox Key Lime Pie image

This recipe, originally from Chef Diane Unger, is unique in that contains no raw eggs, which used to be a standard ingredient for the pie. Since raw eggs are now a "no-no'" here's a tested way to produce a lime pie as bright and custard-like as the original, without using eggs. Garnish with a thinly sliced fresh lime "wheel" and wait for your guests to be "wowed." A great ending for a meal year around, but particularly during the warm summer months. Note: Do not be tempted to use bottled lime juice, which lacks depth of flavor. Also, use the larger Persian Limes...not the true Key Limes. It would take about 40 of the little Key Limes to yield a cup of juice!

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.
