Scoop 51: Homemade Truly Key Lime Pie Ice Cream
July 16th, 2006There is nothing like being home from a trip and being able to make ice cream again. Unfortunately the hot weather followed me back to DC. So it sounded like Key lime would hit the spot.
This recipe sounds a little odd, takes some work, and has few strange ingredients; but trust me, it tastes wonderful. The best thing about this ice cream is it is so creamy and smooth. I think it’s the Cool Whip that adds the smoothness. Even with the gelatin and Cool Whip, it is still fairly sour. But, I like sour things. And what’s better than sweet and sour? (As a kid I used to eat a lot of Sour Patch Kids.) No tricks to this recipe. Just follow it and it will taste amazing. (I did put it in the freezer for a little while as it needed more time to freeze after the ice cream maker.)

[…] I don’t remember the last time I had the blissful experience of eating Sebastian Joe’s Ice Cream (I went to their location on Upton Ave).  Honestly,  I don’t think this place has a bad ice cream flavor.  Today I picked up a couple of pints of old favorites to keep in the freezer and try this week, but I also tried a flavor I hadn’t seen there before: Key Lime. This stuff was amazingly sour. I should preface my review by saying that I love sweet and sour flavor combinations. I know not all people do, but I adore them. Sebastian Joe’s Key Lime was a little more sour than I’m used to in a sour ice cream, but it was oh so good. I couldn’t believe how creamy it was. It’s hard to imagine an ice cream that’s rich and creamy and sour, but it exists. This was better than the recipe I made last month. This is defiantly the best key lime ice cream and possibly citrus ice cream I’ve ever had. I also ordered a homemade cone. I was very impressed with it. Other homemade cones I’ve had are usually a little chewy or not sweet enough, but this one was crunchy and just the prefect sweetness. The only thing that I wasn’t used to is that it’s thicker than a normal cone.
