Hi guys, I'm Laura Vitale and on this episode of Laura in the Kitchen, I want to share with
you what I'm calling my key lime pie popsicles.
They taste like a key lime pie, very similar to my no-bake key lime pie that I did here
years ago, but I really wanted to share this recipe with you because key lime pie is one
of Joe's favorite desserts and he loves any kind of ice cream or popsicles, so the two
- it's like a match made in food heaven.
Couldn't be easier to do, you need just a handful of ingredients, but I promise they
are all the right ones. And when these are together, they're like the taste and delightfulness
of a key lime pie in popsicle form. Couldn't be easier!
The ingredients you'll need is heavy cream and whole milk that I've mixed together, some
fresh lime zest and lime juice, and some sweetened condensed milk, which you guys know, if you've
been with me for a while, sweetened condensed milk and I have a love affair that foes way,
way back! ha!
So, it really is easy and simple, everything goes in a blender. I've got a mixture of heavy
cream and whole milk and it really is important that you use whole milk and heavy cream, no
light, no 2%, no fat-free, you need the real stuff because this is really rich and creamy
and that's what makes it so, so good!
I'm going to add in my fresh lime zest and juice.
You also want to make sure you use very fresh lime juice, nothing out of a bottle for this.
And the gloriousness that is sweetened condensed milk!
I mean, I could eat this stuff out of this - just with a spoon out of the can - and quite
often have. But, this is going to be the thing that just thickens this and it gives it the
richness and the sweetness that I love - and this is also how I make my no-bake key lime
pie. I also add some sweetened condensed milk.
Try and get it all out of here with my spatula.
Leave the rest behind for me, and now I'm just going to put a lid on, pop this on and
get everything well mixed!
Perfect!
I mean.. Come on!
I've got my popsicle mold here, and now what I'm going to do - look at the consistency
of this!
I know! I know!
I know what you're thinking, that looks creamy and delightful, and trust me when I tell you
they are.
Excellent.
I've got a little left which I will freeze in a different popsicle mold. And now just
stick my little topper in, make sure you secure it.
My popsicles were in the freezer overnight, and I'm going to take one out - and I've got
some warm water here, now it's actually hot tap water in my large cup, or a large glass,
I'm going to dunk that in - whoa!I put too much water.
I feel like I'm living on the edge, are you seeing this?
Dun dun dun! Da da da da!
I'm just thinking whether that was a theme song or something from somewhere, but I don't
think so! Ha!
Look at that, look at all the little zest of the lime running through, that just makes
me happy, you seeing it? That just makes me happy!
Now, if you say to me 'Laura - in a Salvatore voice, in my dad's voice - I need some crunch
because my key lime pie, I make it with a graham cracker crust and I need some crunch'.
This is what I say to you. Get yourself some crushed graham crackers, okay, and sprinkle
on and then as you eat this, you get little bites of crushed graham crackers.
I know! I know!
It's actually fantastic.
It is good!
I really like the graham cracker part, so every time I eat some of it, I go back and
cover it again with some graham crackers. It tastes like a key lime pie, but in popsicle
form!
If you don't want to put these in popsicle molds, or you're saying to me 'Laura, I don't
have time for popsicle molds' put these into containers, pop them in the freezer and then
just scoop them out with an ice cream scoop!
The world is really your pickle, my friend!
Mmm..
I don't know what to say. It is perfection.
It's sweet, it's tangy, it's fresh, it's amazing!
Go to LauraintheKitchen.com to get this recipe, recreate these, tag me on social media, I
would love to see your recreation, and let me know down below what your favorite popsicle
flavor is, I'm really torn between this one and Nutella.
Both really, really good.
I hope you have enjoyed spending time with me, I'll see you next time!
Bye!
Hold on!
That thing sounds like it's mad at me!
Mmm.. okay, we ready babe?
