While I adore keylimepie I thought it would be fun to bring the flavors of a pie to a frozen ice cream (gelato) based treat that even my grandson would like – KeyLimePie ~ Ice Cream Sandwiches
When keylime custard is cooled completely, add a few drops green food coloring and mix it well. In medium sauce pan stir together sugar and corn starch, stir in keylime juice and slightly beaten egg yolks, add butter and bring mixture to a very controlled simmer over medium-low heat stirring almost constantly until thickened ( it should be able to coat the back of a metal spoon) remove from heat, cover with plastic foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours
KeyLimePie is one of those regional classics- obviously originating in Key West, Florida. Using any other lime juice does not bring the same flavor or result, and this pie is not intended to be "green" either, but almost a butter yellow color
I think that homemade KeyLimePie must be one of the world’s best kept secrets. Mascarpone’s creaminess mellows the astringency of the lime and the topping holds its shape better than the traditional whipped cream
