Ingredients
- 480 grams Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
- 400 grams Sweetened condensed milk (low-fat)
- 120 milliliters Key lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 teaspoons Key lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Graham crackers (crumbled, optional for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt and low-fat sweetened condensed milk. Whisk together until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 2
Add the freshly squeezed Key lime juice, Key lime zest, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until well combined. The mixture will slightly thicken as the lime juice reacts with the yogurt and condensed milk.
Step 3
Taste the mixture and adjust for sweetness or tanginess if desired. You can add a little more lime juice for extra tang or a small amount of powdered sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
Step 5
Cover the container with an airtight lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 6
Freeze the mixture for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm. Overnight freezing is recommended for best results.
Step 7
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften for easier scooping.
Step 8
Optional: Sprinkle crumbled graham crackers on top before serving to mimic a Key lime pie crust.
