  • Freeze for for at least 4 hours, and up to overnight.
  • Soften for 2-3 minutes at room temperature then scoop, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you can find key limes, you can use them instead of regular limes. But remember key limes have a more intense citrus flavor, so you may not want to use quite as much lime juice.
  • Don't crush the pie crust. You want nice big pieces sort of reminiscent of the Oreo pieces in cookies and cream.
  • Make sure to let the ice cream soften on the counter so it is easier to scoop!
