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.

KEY LIME OR LEMON ICE CREAM PIE



Key Lime or Lemon Ice Cream Pie image

I found this recipe years ago and in it's original form has frozen lemonade concentrate. It's delicious and refreshing whether you make key lime or lemon.. I've created my own version by adding juice and zest. The juice and zest add great flavor and an extra kick. It's easy to change up the ingredient to make your own citrus...

KEY LIME PIE ICE CREAM

Categories     Dessert     Frozen Dessert

Yield 1.75 qt

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tbsp key lime zest (about 4 key limes)
1/2 cup key lime juice (about 12 limes)
3/4 cups sugar
pinch of salt
1 cup milk
4 egg yolks
2 cups cream
1/2 cup graham crackers, crushed

Steps:

  • Mix the zest, juice, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Let sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Heat the milk until it is just boiling. Remove from heat. Whisk a quarter cup of the hot milk into the egg yolks (to temper the yolks). Whisk in a little more. Scrape the yolk-milk mixture back into the rest of the milk and whisk together. Place over medium heat and whisk constantly until the custard has thickened (should coat the back of a spoon). Place the custard on ice or in the refrigerator until it is chilled completely. Mix the sugar-lime mixture, the custard, and the cream together in a large bowl. Churn the ice cream in your ice cream maker according to the ice cream maker instructions. Stir the graham crackers into the soft ice cream. Freeze.

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the zest of the limes and chop the juice by hand.
  • Be sure to chill the ice cream base for at least 4 hours before churning. This will help it set properly.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the ice cream base in a covered container for several hours, stirring it every 30 minutes or so to prevent it from crystallizing.

Conclusion:

Key lime pie ice cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a dessert to serve at your next party or just a sweet treat to enjoy on a hot summer day, key lime pie ice cream is sure to be a hit.
