Ultra-Creamy Frozen Yogurt with a Key Lime Twist!

Lime desserts really hit the spot sometimes, and in the indescribable Florida summer heat, I would say they’re not optional. They’re indispensable! So I was really excited to try making this key lime pie frozen yogurt. Once it was ready, I scooped some into a dish, but y’all know me. It wasn’t enough. Graham cracker topping? That was a little better, but something was still missing…fresh lime slices? Okay, now we’re talking!

This easy, homemade frozen yogurt is a fantastic summer treat not only considering of the coolness and flavor, but moreover considering it requires no heat, and barely any mixing. If you’re dealing with any of this heat, you know that’s a godsend. It truly tastes like a freshly-made, frozen key lime pie. Can’t write-up that, right?

The List of Ingredients

There are moreover only four ingredients (besides toppings) to make your own key lime pie frozen yogurt, which is unconfined if you’re looking for something simple to throw together. Here’s what you will need:

• Low-Fat Plain Yogurt: Or full-fat, if you prefer.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk: I opted for fat-free sweetened condensed milk, to alimony this recipe light, but regular would work as well.
• Vanilla: A little bit of pure vanilla extract, to requite it that scrumptious dessert taste.
• Lime: You’ll need both the lime juice and some lime zest.
• Optional Toppings: Graham cracker crumbs, lime slices or wedges, whipped cream, etc.

What Is Special About Key Limes?

Key limes are prized for their unique savor – they have an intense, tropical, scrutinizingly floral taste that regular limes don’t. And while they’re increasingly flavorful, key limes are moreover less acidic than regular limes, which can make them seem “sweeter.” Perfect for pie, and frozen yogurt too.

Can I Substitute Limes for Key Limes?

Sure! Fresh key limes may not be available, or maybe you have a bag of regular Persian limes to use up. Either way, your recipe will still taste superstitious if you use ordinary grocery store limes.

How to Make It

For this recipe, you really only have to mix the ingredients and let your ice surf maker do the rest. (No ice surf maker? See the Tips section below!)

Make the Frozen Yogurt Mixture. In a large bowl, use a spoon or whisk to tousle all of the ingredients together. 

Freeze. Pour the mixture into your ice surf maker and freeze it, equal to the manufacturer’s instructions. 

Serve or Freeze Longer. At this point, you can serve the frozen yogurt soft-serve style, or scoop it into an snapped container and place it in your freezer until it’s firmer.

Enjoy! When you do serve your key lime pie frozen yogurt, remember to top it with graham cracker crumbs and whipped cream. Yum!

Tips and Variations

• No Ice Surf Maker: While this recipe does undeniability for an ice surf mixer, you can moreover make it without one. The texture may be slightly different. To do this, write-up the ingredients together for several minutes, and then pour into a shallow dish. Cover and freeze, stirring thoroughly every half hour or so to alimony it creamy. Once it reaches an ice-cream-like consistency, serve it up!
• Avoid Greek Yogurt: Some recipes do use Greek yogurt to make frozen yogurt, but I find that regular yogurt is a little less “chalky.” 
• White Chocolate Key Lime Pie: Add a sprinkle of white chocolate fries to the frozen yogurt, either in it while it freezes, or on top for a garnish. 
• Coconut Key Lime Pie: Coconut shreds are a dream here! For a really coconut-forward taste, use vegan condensed milk made with coconut, instead of traditional condensed milk.

How to Store This Frozen Yogurt

Store this in your freezer, packed into a freezer-safe, snapped container. It should alimony for up to 3 months.

If it is frozen too nonflexible to scoop, just let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes or so.
