To finish off lime week, I have another tasty way to cool off this summer. Key Lime Pie is a classic lime creation and this is a variation of a frozen key lime pie!
It takes the same concept used in the recipe I have shared before for a basic homemade ice cream that requires no maker. The ice cream gets combined with that ever so tasty lime flavor by adding some zest and key lime juice. Of course, it all goes into a graham cracker crust.
This rich and creamy ice cream pie will just melt in your mouth. Grab a slice, put up your feet, and enjoy!
