RECIPE BY Cooking Light

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.

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)

Made this for the first time last week for a group of friends. Everyone loved it - so making again this evening for a girls night! Wonderful flavor & the Graham's are perfect for a bit of crunch.

Ok, so I didn't use the exact ingredients (used heavy instead of regular cream & reg. cond. milk instead of FF) because I didn't have them on hand but this ice cream still turned out AWESOME! FULL of flavor and the grahams added the perfect touch/texture! I've even adapted the recipe for other flavors like peach, banana, cookie dough & plain vanilla! Simply amazing! Love, love, LOVE it! Much better than the egg recipe I'm used to using! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe! I will certainly continue using this recipe as a base for any other flavors I can think of!! ...like Butter Pecan or cherry cordial!!

This has a great texture for a low-fat ice cream and is delicious. Made it for a group I was teaching about ice cream and everyone loved it.

This is my new favorite ice cream recipe. I only made one change and that was to use whole milk instead of the 2% milk. All my friends love it too.

Awesome! This recipe was very big hit at our house. My family is already asking when we'll make it again. I stirred all of the graham crackers into the icecream. I used 1% instead 2, and fat-free half & half instead of whipping cream (because that's what I had) and it was still delicious. Very crisp and refreshing on a hot summer day.

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!

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!

Easy, quick, and delicious. Instead of the graham crackers, I used graham cracker pie shell pieces. Put the shell in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, then break into small chunks before adding to ice cream. Absolutely fantastic!

Awesome recipe for real! I doubled the graham crackers and added them once the ice cream was done mixing, I also used a 50/50 mixture including 2% milk and vanilla creamer for coffee, and used regular sweetened condensed milk. Then I mixed it for a half hour and put it in the ice cream machine***
