Key Lime Pie Ice Cream
I can’t believe I waited so LONG to give you this recipe! I made this ice cream back in JUNE. I took all these pictures, I ate a bunch of it, I share it with some good friends, and just never got around to posting it. The problem comes back to, my major indecisiveness. I took a TON of pictures, way too many! I couldn’t decide which ones to use, they all were too similar. I kept putting it off. The only reason I kicked myself into gear now is, I have another ice cream recipe to post!
This was the first eggless ice cream I made. And while the flavor was divinely yummy, it was tart and sweet, with the little crunch of graham cracker, it didn’t have the same richness that an egg-based ice cream has (it also doesn’t have as much fat)! I think I prefer the rich texture of an ice cream made with egg yolks, but I still recommend this, as it was a refreshing taste of summer. It’s got all the flavor of key lime pie, in ice cream form. If, like me, you have a hard time locating the key lime juice, check the aisle with the cocktail mixers, as well as the juice aisle. Depending on your grocer, those are the most likely places you’ll find it.
