What does Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Taste like?

This ice cream is tart and sweet, super creamy, with lime and chunks of graham crackers. It’s like eating a Key Lime Pie but in frozen form!

What does No-Churn mean?

No-Churn ice cream means there’s no need to use an ice cream machine to make your ice cream with a creamy and soft consistency; usually, you use sweetened condensed milk and whipped cream as a base to obtain the creaminess after frozen. This makes it convenient, easy and quick to make.

Difference between key lime and Lime

The key lime, also known as “Mexican lime”, is smaller, more acidic, thinner and has a stronger aroma than the regular lime. It has a lighter yellow color when ripe and contains more seeds. They don’t store as well as regular limes, therefore try to use them within 2-3 days.

I like this recipe more with key limes, but if you can’t find them, just go ahead and use regular limes, overall the flavor will be almost the same and you won’t be disappointed.

Ingredients you’ll need

This easy ice cream needs some pretty basic ingredients that you probably already have at home:

  • Heavy whipping cream. It will help give the ice cream it’s creaminess
  • Sweetened condensed milk. helps with sweetness and consistency
  • Key lime juice and zest. Gives ice cream it’s citrusy flavor
  • Vanilla extract. Gives aroma and enhances flavors
  • Salt. Helps enhance flavors
  • Graham crackers. Give crunchiness and garnish
