Equipment

  • 1 Ice Cream Maker

Ingredients
  

Coconut Key Lime Pie Ice Cream

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp coconut extract
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 slices Marie Callender's Frozen Key Lime Pie
  • 4 sheets graham crackers coarsely crushed

Instructions
 

Coconut Key Lime Pie Ice Cream

  • Chill your ice cream bowl in the freezer for at least 24 hours
  • Add milk, sugar, and salt to a medium sized bowl
  • Whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved (check with your finger)
  • Stir in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and coconut extract
  • Cover mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight (I always do 24 hours)
  • Pour the chilled ice cream mixture into your frozen ice cream bowl and churn!
  • Cut the frozen key lime pie into bite size pieces. You'll need to use a sharp knife and run it under hot water frequently or else the pie will stick!
  • Put the chunks of key lime pie back in the freezer as the ice cream continues to churn (at least 10 minutes!)
  • Once the ice cream starts to thicken, about 15-20 minutes in, add in the graham cracker crumbles
  • Churn for another 5 minutes or so!
  • Pour 1/2 of the ice cream mixture into an air tight container
  • Layer half of the frozen key lime pie chunks on the ice cream, using a pastry scraper or metal spatula to lift them off the cutting board
  • Add the rest of the ice cream mixture, followed by another layer of the key lime pie pieces
  • Freeze for 4+ hours for a firmer texture! Enjoy!*

Notes

The ice cream will be ready to eat once it's done churning, but it will be a soft serve consistency!
I noticed this coconut key lime pie flavor in particular needed more time than usual to firm up! It was still soft serve consistency after 2 hours. After freezing overnight it was perfect for me!
