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 love Key Lime anything yummm. I make something similar with sugar free jello, sugare free cool whip and low fat graham crackers and yougurt. I mix this up put it in a 11×7 paper cover with saran wrap and freeze. You need 12 crackers gently cut in 1/2 nd you cut the key lime mixture into 12 squares and fill between the two crackers. I wrap them individually and keep in the freezer. You can mix your yougurt and sugar free jello flavors and this is a great low cal treat. 1 box of sugar free jello, 1/4 cup boiling water, 2 containers of yougurt and an 8oz container of sugar free cool whip thats it.
Love, love, LOVE Key Lime. Love. And, yeah, you seem to get the FB crazies on your page. (You know I just jinxed myself there, right?!?) I’m off to look for this bumper sticker. Better put on my cape…
What I’ve “enjoyed” about FacePage (as my Dad calls it) is that you can have a first row seat at watching grown women’s eating disorders/food issues/ compulsive exercising up close. Its like high school all over again– just with more tagging.
I am not a fruit or tart dessert type- I love me some chocolate…however, key limepie reminds me of my Gram. She always ordered it and made me try it while we were in Florida together years ago…it really is tasty! I wish I was a baker!
Liking these my friend! Thinking these would be perfect make-aheads for the next kids party.
It is amazing what people will say and do on facebook, but would never do in real life! Hopefully these sandwiches can bring peace to social media!
Yum!! This would be perfect when it’s scortching hot outside, I may have to do a taste test before hand though 😉
wow this looks amazing!
These cookies and cups recipes looks awesome as well as the photos. Can we look forward to more of your marvelous recipes?
Amazing site, thanks for sharing!
