LOW FAT KEY LIME ICE CREAM (NO CHURNING)



Low Fat Key Lime Ice Cream (no Churning) image

This "ice cream" was actually an accident--I was making a pie filling and put it in the freezer instead of the fridge, and it came out better than when in the pie! After a few modifications, this is what it has become. I'm sure you could do it with any flavor juice (orange, lemon) but it's so good with lime that I've never tried anything else! The recipe as is comes out very tart (like a good Key Lime pie); the amount of lime juice can be adjusted to taste.

Fresh key lime juice is best but bottled is ok. If you have to, you may substitute fresh regular lime juice.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
6 large egg yolks
1 (15 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh key lime juice

Steps:

  • Bring the cream to a simmer in a medium saucepan; slowly beat the hot cream into the egg yolks in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and place over low heat.
  • Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the custard thickens slightly (be careful not to let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble).
  • Remove pan from heat and pour the hot custard through a strainer into a large, clean bowl.
  • Let the custard cool slightly, then stir in the sweetened condensed milk and key lime juice.
  • Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.
  • Stir the cold custard well; then freeze in 1 or 2 batches in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
  • When finished, the ice cream will be soft but can be eaten; for firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze several hours or overnight.
  • *Margarita Ice Cream-add ¼ cup tequila and ¼ cup orange liqueur before freezing.

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the key limes by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they blend smoothly into the ice cream.
  • If you want a sweeter ice cream, you can add more honey or agave nectar to taste.
  • You can also add other flavors to this ice cream, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or even chopped nuts or fruit.
  • Be sure to freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving, or overnight for a firmer texture.

This low-fat key lime ice cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for summer. It is also a healthy alternative to traditional ice cream, as it is made with natural ingredients and has no added sugar. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
