calories 720

Ingredients

1/4 cup Florida Key lime juice

3 Florida Key limes, zested

2 1/2 cups Florida sugar

6 cups whole milk

2 cups heavy cream

16 egg yolks

1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 cup graham crackers, crushed into small pieces

1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

Preparation

Combine milk, heavy cream and vanilla bean in a large pot and bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Meanwhile, in a separate mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until completely combined. Temper egg mixture with a third of the hot milk, then slowly pour back into large pot with milk and cream, whisking constantly. Cook over medium heat until custard reaches 180 to 185 degrees (stir constantly) and is slightly thickened. Strain through mesh strainer into a clean bowl and chill completely (over ice bath or in refrigerator). Stir lime juice and zest into custard mixture. Pour into ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s instructions. Approximately 5 to 10 minutes before ice cream is set, add graham crackers. When set, swirl in sweetened condensed milk. Place in freezer-safe container and allow to set for at least 2 hours before serving.

Fresh tip: If you don’t have vanilla bean, substitute 3 tablespoons pure vanilla extract; add to mixture at the end of the cooking process before straining.
