Refreshing Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Made Simple
Key Lime Pie Ice Cream is a tart and sweet ice cream version of your favorite key lime pie! Simply whisk the base together and churn it in your ice cream maker – no extra cooking or chilling required.
During these sweltering summer days, turning on the oven feels like a daunting task. The thought of heavy, baked dishes just doesn’t seem appealing. Instead, my cravings lean toward refreshing treats like watermelon, cold sandwiches, and of course, ice cream. And what better way to beat the heat than with a delightful batch of Key Lime Pie Ice Cream?
EASY KEY LIME PIE ICE CREAM RECIPE
Homemade ice cream epitomizes summer indulgence: ice-cold, sweet, and creamy, providing a delightful contrast to the heat. One of the challenges with many traditional ice cream recipes is the necessity of cooking and chilling the custard base beforehand. This recipe eliminates that hassle, allowing you to whip it up and enjoy it the same day. Simply whisk together the ingredients in the morning and savor your ice cream by evening!
For those who share my obsession with key lime flavors—think Key Lime Pie Bars, Key Lime Cheesecake, or Key Lime Pie Marshmallow Treats—this ice cream will not disappoint. The process is straightforward: just mix the ingredients and churn them according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. Sweetened condensed milk serves as the base, giving the ice cream its rich, creamy texture, while a bit of graham cracker crumb adds a delightful crunch and nostalgia of key lime pie.
DO YOU NEED TO USE FULL-FAT MILK AND CREAM?
When it comes to making ice cream, embracing the richness of full-fat milk, cream, and sweetened condensed milk is essential for achieving the most satisfying flavor and texture. Low-fat alternatives can lead to icy results rather than the creamy goodness we crave. Indulge in this luxurious dessert without guilt—after all, life is too short not to enjoy delicious ice cream!
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE AN ICE CREAM MAKER?
If you lack an ice cream maker, don’t fret—you can certainly create homemade ice cream using a no-churn recipe. For a delightful alternative, consider my No-Churn Roasted Berry Ice Cream or check out the tempting No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream recipes. An ice cream maker is a worthwhile investment for those who plan to make ice cream more than just a few times a year.
