Key Lime Pie Ice Cream

Key Lime Pie Ice Cream has all the flavors of classic Key lime pie—even the crust. The recipe calls for bottled Key lime juice for convenience, but you can also squeeze the juice from fresh Key limes (or the tiny round  Mexican limes, if those are available) if your supermarket carries them. Though it’s more than 300 calories per serving, note that this recipe is for 3/4 cup (a larger portion than average), it cuts 150 calories off a small slice of Key lime pie, and, it packs over 25% of your daily calcium.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

Try substituting graham crackers with low or no sugar cornflakes. Not as crumbly, but gives that starchy "pie" flavor you're looking for.

    “Well sugar, I’m not sure why anyone prefers Key Lime Pie over a classic Lemon Meringue Pie but this is very nice.” “Well Nana, it’s ice cream, though–” “Well yes of course. But I’m also giving you my opinion about pies.”
