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)!

Time 1h17m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups milk
⅔ cup heavy cream
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 cup white sugar
1 cup lime juice
2 teaspoons lemon extract
1 (3 ounce) package lime flavored Jell-O® mix
6 whole graham crackers

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 WITH GRAHAM CRACKER GELATO



Key Lime with Graham Cracker Gelato image

Tangy, tart, and refreshing, with a bit of graham cracker crunch-just like the pie. One of Ciao Bella's most popular recent flavor creations, this started as a seasonal offering for our chef customers and became wildly successful in our gelaterie. The popularity of Key Lime with Graham Cracker Gelato was a bit of a surprise because its flavor is decidedly tart, while Americans tend to have sweeter palates. There's always a fine line between creating what chefs appreciate and what customers will like, but in this case everyone was happy. This flavor is so popular that in less than a year it became our number-one retail gelato flavor in New York City.

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 4

Plain Base
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, preferably Key lime
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (see Note), frozen

Steps:

  • Make the Plain Base and chill as directed.
  • Gently whisk the lime juice and zest into the base. Pour the mixture into the container of an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Just after churning quickly stir in the graham cracker crumbs. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before you start making the ice cream. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the ice cream mixture. Overbeating can make the ice cream icy.
  • Chill the ice cream mixture for at least 4 hours before churning. This will help it churn faster and smoother.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this ice cream. Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze it for 6-8 hours, stirring every 2 hours.

Conclusion:

This truly key lime pie ice cream is the perfect summer treat. It's creamy, tart, and refreshing, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you're making it for a party or just for yourself, this ice cream is sure to please.
