Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
-
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, forming an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened lime sherbet and vanilla ice cream. Gently fold them together until well mixed but still swirled.
-
Add the fresh lime juice to the ice cream mixture and gently stir until fully incorporated.
-
Pour the ice cream mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the lime zest over the top.
-
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer to set for at least 4 hours or until firm.
-
When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
-
Slice the Frosty Lime Ice Cream Pie into wedges and serve chilled. Garnish with additional lime zest or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
