Outstanding

This ice cream has all the flavors of classic Key lime pie--even the crust. We used bottled Key lime juice for convenience. You can also squeeze the juice from fresh Key limes if your supermarket carries them.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2  cups  2% reduced-fat milk
  • 1/2  cup  bottled Key lime juice (such as Nellie and Joe's)
  • 1/2  cup  whipping cream
  • Dash of salt
  • 1  (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
  • 6  graham crackers (1 1/2 cookie sheets), coarsely crushed, divided
  • Key lime wedges (optional)

Preparation

Combine first 5 ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Pour mixture into freezer can of an ice-cream freezer, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Stir 1/3 cup graham crackers into ice cream. Spoon ice cream into a freezer-safe container, and cover and freeze for 1 hour or until firm. Sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon graham crackers. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired.

I tried several more complicated recipes and finally nailed the homeade ice cream with this one. Incredibly creamy for a non-custard recipe. I will make this one over and over again!07/24/09

Wonderful! Very light and almost airy tasting. One taster mentioned that it tastes like it has cool whip. I cut the sweetened condensed milk a little based on other feedback on sweetness. Will make again! 07/19/09
