Let’s talk about pie.

Because I cannot stop thinking about pie. Blueberry, strawberry, peach, cherry, I want ALL THE PIES.

It’s weird because I’m usually pretty meh about pie but right now, it’s seriously all I can think about. And the only reason I haven’t made one is because I’m pretty sure that I’d eat the entire thing in one go.

So I made pie ice cream! Key Lime Pie Ice Cream!

I feel like Key Lime Pie is one of those pies that is always good. I mean, it’s hard to go wrong with a graham cracker crust, tart filling, and whipped cream. Or meringue, if that’s what you’re into.

How to Make Key Lime Pie Ice Cream

This is a really easy homemade ice cream recipe. There’s no heating of milk and cream or slowly drizzling that into eggs so you don’t scramble. 

None of that in this recipe. 

  • Whisk together milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, zest, juice of limes, and salt
  • Pour mixture into ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions
  • Once frozen, stir in chopped graham crakers
  • Transfer to freezer safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving

How Long Is Homemade Ice Cream Good For

Homemade ice cream is good for up to 2 months in the freezer when stored properly.

I like to keep my homemade ice cream in this super cute freezer safe container but before I put the lid on, I press plastic wrap down pretty tightly on the ice cream. That helps to keep the air out so the ice cream stays fresher longer.

    I’m not really a big pie person but in the summer I crave blueberry pie nonstop. Pie + ice cream is a major win.

    I’m totally like you right now – I’ve been dreaming about pies. And cobblers. I bought a bunch of fruit yesterday so a pie and/or a cobbler is happening this weekend. And maybe some homemade ice cream too. Because a slice of pie or a heaping of cobbler just isn’t complete without a huge scoop of ice cream! :)

    LOVE this ice cream, Amanda. Key lime pie is one of my favorite pies ever!
