Here is another fabulous ice cream. I know I am big on not using egg in ice cream. I am going to try an egg custard based ice cream at some point over the summer but so far I'm on a run and still getting to know the ice cream machine so I don't want to try something new just yet.
It's summer and it's hot and at 11:00 am one past Saturday, my sister was already craving something cool. She loves key lime pie and wanted a key lime pie milkshake but I told her to save her money and wait 45 minutes and I would have ice cream ready.
We all loved this ice cream. In fact, it was gone the same day it was made.
I was skeptical about the graham crackers but we all felt that it made the ice cream and took the tartness of the key lime juice of the ice cream.
