There 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.)

Oh Honey we found the best key lime pie that we have ever eaten at
a restaurant in Carolina. It name is I think Kutchie’s Key West and that
pie was perfect. We were told it is from a secret recipe. Pass it on………

Hello all, Mrs. Smith said it right. Years ago while traveling through
the Hills of North Carolina we stumbled into Kutchie’s Island Restaurant. We were recommended to try Kutchie’s Great Cheese Burgers. Those cheese burgers that Kutchie’s serves , completely blew
us away. I didn’t think that anyone could still cook that good anymore.
We also ordered Kutchie’s world famous key lime pie. Oh, My God, what a treat that pie was. Harold, had a look on his face, that I haven’t
seen since we got married. I could tell by that look that he had just fallen in love all-over again! We will definitely be going back to
Kutchie’s Key West.

We couldn’t get over how amazing the pies are at “Kutchie and Anita Pelaez’s —-Key Lime Pie Factory and Grill were! We would recommend them to everyone. Real old fashioned flavor in every bite.
Thank you Anita and Kutchie, you’re the Best. And we really love you guys.
