Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup key lime juice I use Nellie and Joe's
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 whole graham crackers coarsely crumbled

Instructions

  • In a blender, process the cream until soft peaks form about 20-30 seconds, Scrape down the sides of the blender until stiff peaks form, about another 10-20 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the condensed milk, buttermilk, corn syrup, sugar, and salt. Process until thoroughly combined, about 20 seconds longer.
  • Pour the mixture into an 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch loaf pan, an 8-inch square pan, or a 1-quart silicone container. Gently stir in graham crackers. Press plastic wrap flush against the surface of the cream mixture. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Enjoy!

Notes

A blender is used in the recipe, but a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment can be used. If using a stand mixer, beat the cream at medium-low speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes more. Then proceed by beating in the remaining ingredients.
