These Easy Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Are So Refreshing!
There is just something about Key Lime Pie in the summer. I mean, I am all about a Key Lime dessert anytime of the year, but they just hit a little different when it’s warm outside.
And this easy ice cream sandwich recipe is honestly one of those sweet treats that you will want to make all summer long.
You make a simple no churn ice cream and then sandwich it between 2 graham crackers. Kind of a lot like key lime pie, honestly…that you can hold with your hands.
And if you’ve never made no churn ice cream, you’re in for a real treat. It’s creamy rich…and there’s sweetened condensed milk involved, which I will get to in a minute.
These are fantastic for parties because you can make them way ahead…or an easy dessert to have in your freezer when you want something a little sweet.
How to Make Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
What’s great about these is you all you need is a mixer and a freezer. Well, and all the ingredients…and a spoon…and some time…
You mix up your ice cream/key lime filling, which is super easy. Heavy cream, Key Lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, sugar…it just keeps getting better doesn’t it?
The consistency will look like this:
Pour that into a plastic container and freeze it for 5-6 hours.
At that point it will be almost frozen, but still spreadable.
If you forget it and leave it in longer, it’s not a problem, just let it sit on the counter until it warms up to a spreadable consistency.
Then assemble your ice cream sandwiches using graham crackers!
You’ll use about 1/4 cup of ice cream on each…
Top the ice cream with another graham cracker and then you can individually wrap them in cling wrap and freeze until they are completely firm, about another hour or so.
You can make these days in advance, which is pretty awesome.
Trust me, these are amazing.

I just found your blog and added you to my reader after just this post. I feel like I could write a book about the wonder that is FB stalking. I gossip about FB “friends” like I just saw them last week, even though it’s been 10 (15) years.
Plus. I really love Key Lime anything. Based on this one post, you’re my new favorite!
My Facebook hero powers BURNED OUT!!! I looked and my hero vision saw nothing…prolly not missing anything. I have a feeling I’ve got a few emails that pretty much say what yours did, lol…or cry, depending on the day!
Facebook is zee Devil…that said, I’m going to have to go look at the bumper sticker incident, or I’d it an incident at all? Better go check!
o… m… g… YES. except i think i need to use cookies.
These are fantastic! Ice cream portion control… although I’m sure I’d eat a bazillion of them:-)
Such a perfect treat for spring and summer! Love key lime:)
Hmmm, somehow I guess I missed the bumper sticker deal.
Key lime pie is fantastic stuff and love that you didn’t mess with the whole pie and just made them sandwich style…so good looking!
We love key lime! Josh made a key lime pie today! Wish we had your ice cream to go with it!
I wish I had this for dessert tonight!
Mmmm, after a warm day like today this would be perfect!
