I searched everywhere for a truly key lime pie ice cream 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)!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

  • ⅔ cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 (3 ounce) package lime-flavored gelatin powder (such as Jell-O)

  • 2 egg yolks, beaten

  • 1 cup lime juice

  • 2 teaspoons lemon extract (Optional)

  • 6 whole graham crackers

Directions

  1. Combine whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat until warm, whisking frequently. Once hot to the touch, whisk in sugar and gelatin powder, stirring constantly until sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Whisk in egg yolks; remove from the heat. Stir in lime juice and lemon extract.

  2. Pour 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.)

  3. Once thick, open canister; evenly place large graham cracker pieces on each side. They will break into smaller pieces as machine churns; churn about 5 minutes more. Transfer to an airtight container (I like to use 1 gallon resealable freezer bags), seal, and freeze until solid.
