TRULY KEY LIME PIE ICE CREAM
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)!

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
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
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 a high-quality key lime juice or extract for the best flavor.
- Make sure the heavy cream and condensed milk are very cold before churning the ice cream.
- Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy, but not too hard.
- For a smoother ice cream, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before churning.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs and lime zest just before the ice cream is finished churning.
- Store the ice cream in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the ice cream to firm up.
Conclusion:
Key lime pie ice cream is a delicious and refreshing summer treat. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and graham cracker crust, this ice cream is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
