Instructions
Key Lime Pie Ice Cream
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. All ingredients need to be at room temperature. If you forget to bring everything to room temperature and the coconut oil hardens, just place the mixture over a double boiler and gently heat until everything melts together.
Pour mixture into a shallow container and cover tightly with a lid. If you don't have a lid or want to freeze in a decorative container, just blanket the ice cream mixture with plastic wrap (so that it touches).
Freeze for about 4-5 hours or until you get a nice ice cream consistency. See notes above for thawing instructions if you are freezing longer.
Graham Cracker Crust Crumble
Preheat oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, then spread onto the parchment paper.
Bake for 5-8 minutes or until nicely browned to your liking. Mine is done right at 7 minutes.
Notes
To make this ice cream no-churn and dairy free, it really needed a thicker custard-like consistency. So you will notice that as the ice cream softens it will not really melt like traditional ice cream. It will hold its shape for the most part and just be a soft buttercream-like consistency.*Raw cashew butter is a must here. If you use roasted cashews it won't taste right. You can also make your own raw cashew butter by blending up 1 lb of raw cashews in a food processor or Vitamix until smooth!**Fresh key lime juice is highly recommended to get the best tasting ice cream. Fresh key lime juice tastes much different than bottled key lime juice and since the key lime is the star of the show, you really want to use the best ingredients you can find. ***For keto, sub Lakanto maple flavored monk fruit syrup
