Equipment

  • Ice cream maker
  • Mesh strainer

Ingredients

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice
  • 1 lime zest only

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2/3 cup Graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

Ice Cream Base

  • Separate eggs into large bowl. We only need the yolks. Whisk yolks.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of the heavy cream.
  • Once heated through, ladle a few spoonfuls of the warm cream mixture into your egg. Whisk until combined.
  • Pour egg/cream mixture into the rest of the warm cream. Cook on low/medium heat until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Remove from heat
  • You may have some chunks of scrambled egg in your cream. Strain cream through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl. Add remaining cup of cream. Stir to combine.
  • Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the ice cream base before refrigerating. This helps prevent a "skin" from forming" Chill 3 hours or overnight in the fridge.
  • Once the ice cream base is thoroughly chilled, churn your ice cream in your ice cream maker maker according to manufacturers directions.
  • Once the ice cream is almost done, add in broken pieces of Graham cracker pie crust.
