The taste on this recipe is superb; just be sure to use bottled key lime juice--it tastes just a bit different from "regular" lime juice. I failed miserably at getting this to thicken in the ice cream freezer--maybe it was too hot? And my Cuisinart machine proved unequal to the task of breaking up the graham crackers, so I partially froze the ice cream and smashed the crackers with the side of a metal spoon. It came out a little bit grainy, but as I said, the flavor was great: just like eating a frozen key lime pie.

This ice cream is amazing. Everyone who tried it just loved it. The first time I made it, it had a bit of a gritty consistency, but still tasted great. The second time I tried it, I turned off the burner before adding the eggs. The mixture was still hot, so I tempered the eggs and then added the jello. This seemed to work better for me and the final product had a very rich and creamy texture.

This was great. I made it as the recipe stated, only I used a broken up graham cracker crust because I was feeling lazy. My kids have asked me to make it again- we really liked it. Thanks!

all i can say is AMAZING! this tasted exactly like keylime pie. followed the directions exactly except i let the mixture cool in the fridge for a few hours before putting it in my ice cream maker.i used bottled lime juice and it still tasted great. this was so creamy and refreshing on a hot summer day. i made a grahm cracker crust and broke it into pieces to serve with the ice cream. will be making this again soon.

This is an AWESOME recipe! We made it on the Fourth for a group and it was "knock your socks off" great! Everyone loved it. I made it exactly as given in the recipe, had no problems whatsoever...and it was my first batch of home-made ice cream ever! I will definitely make it again.

I made this ice-cream for Fathers day and it was a big hit. My nephews couldn't get enough. I followed the recipe for the ice-cream, but instead of using graham crackers, I made a graham cracker crust and baked it on a cookie sheet while ice-cream was churning in the machine. The last 5 minutes in the maker, I broke up the crust and mixed it in. It was awesome!!!

Originally I gave this recipe 3 stars because the texture was off - seemed kind of like an ice cream mouse. I've decided to bump it up to 4 stars because the texture got a lot better after it sat in the freezer another day. The flavor is really great, and the graham crackers really added so much yummy-ness that I wasn't expecting. The recipe doesn't specify fresh or bottled lime juice. I just took the easy route and used bottled, and I think it was fine. And yes, as other reviews have suggested, make sure to cool the mixture completely before putting it into the ice cream maker. I refrigerated it overnight. Overall very good - I'm sure I will make it again.

I wish the original instructions told to refrigerate the mixed ingredients for 24 hrs prior to placing in ice cream maker ! Mine turned out to be a major FLOP because of that. It NEVER properly solidified as churning and wound up a heavy solid ugly srapable hunk of green stuff. Not very appetizing and embarrassing to serve to my guests, who proclaimed it was WEIRD. I like my foods as natural as possible. That's why I have an ice cream maker in the first place. I'm trying to avoid poisoning my family as much as possible.

Fantastic!! It's almost like a sherbert/ice cream combination.

Love this recipe! We just pulled it off the maker and put it in the freezer to harden. The flavor is perfect. Lime is delicious without being too strong, as lime sherbet sometimes is. We made it for an ice cream social this afternoon. Can't wait to see what our friends think of it. UPDATE: This ice cream won 1st in our ice cream social contest yesterday!!
