Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups regular milk I used coconut milk but any milk will do
  • 1 cup key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • ½ cup fresh diced mango
  • 1-2 tablespoons granulated sugar depending on how ripe the mango is
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • For the Ice Cream Base, Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, regular milk, key lime juice, and lime zest..
  • Place mixture in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Next pour mixture into ice cream machine and churn according to machine's instructions.
  • While ice cream churns, puree mango, granulated sugar and water together until well blended and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined.
  • Once ice cream is finished churning, alternately scoop ice cream base, then graham cracker crumbs, ice cream again and finally mango swirl into container until all ingredients are in the container.
  • Freeze for at least 4-5 hours and then serve.

Notes

  • Ice too hard to scoop? No worries! First, let the frozen ice cream sit for five minutes on the counter before scooping to let it soften up. Second, dip a scoop in a glass of hot water and then shake off excess water before scooping.
  • Full fat milk or coconut milk make a creamier key lime ice cream.
  • Make sure to use key lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Don't skip the step for chilling! I know you can't wait to eat ice cream but chilling the base first makes for a creamier ice cream.
  • Prefer classic key lime flavor? Feel free to omit the mango swirl.
