Easy as Pie Key Lime Ice Cream

Ice cream is one of my guilty pleasures, and I’ve been eyeing this key lime pie ice cream recipe for a while. Be sure to use real key limes for this frozen treat. I was intrigued and delighted to see this recipe, which doesn’t include additional sugar or even require any cooking! Most custard- or cream-based ice cream recipes require heating a mixture of egg yolks, cream, and sugar. This recipe couldn’t be any easier to make, and the sweet-tart flavor of the key lime juice against the graham cracker crumbs really does taste like cool, refreshing key lime pie!
