Happy Fourth of July! I would just like to say I appreciate all of the freedoms we enjoy due to the sacrifices of many others before us and those who serve our country today. Here I have the perfect summer time treat, lime ice cream bars. Like most kids, mine are crazy for Popsicles and so I ordered some Popsicle molds and have been making frozen treats every day. These are my favorite so far. I had never had lime ice cream but I saw My Baking Addiction was serving up Key Lime Pie Ice Cream and I knew it would be good. I based my version on my lime pie, changing out eggs for heavy whipping cream. It has been hot and this was the ideal way to cool off, they were so refreshing. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with friends, family and good food.
P.S. A big thanks to Amber at Bluebonnets & Brownies for sending me a new header! I will be making a few changes to the site, please bear with me!
Lime Ice Cream Bars
Ingredients:
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
zest of 1 lime (about 1 teaspoon)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Add sweetened condensed milk, lime juice & zest into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add cream and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Pour into Popsicle molds, Dixie cups or into an ice cream freezer. If using Popsicle molds, add bottoms; if using Dixie cups use a Popsicle stick or a wooden skewer. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
For the ice cream maker follow manufacturer directions, cover and freeze until ready to serve.
Enjoy!
Miss

Happy Fourth of July! Your site is looking really good – can’t wait to see the other changes. Lime is one of my favorite flavors and these ice cream bars sound so appealing.
I love this theme the best so far, and of course love your ice cream bars. I bought a bunch of limes the other day and this would be a good idea, I need the molds though. Happy 4th!
these sound PERFECT for today! I love those popsicle molds, I have the same ones!
Happy 4th!
Amber did a great job, the new header looks great and so do those lime ice cream bars!
These looks so perfect and refreshing! I am going to have to purchase some popsicle molds so I can make them! I love the new look, Milisa!
yum!! What a wonderful idea, these sound so good!
Ooo, wow these look good. Probably all that lovely condensed milk. Like key lime pie on a stick!
Yum! I love lime especially in frozen treats. So refreshing
What beautiful looking bars. If I had those, I’d want to be snacking on them all day. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog till Monday and I’d love it if you’d come by and link your bars up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/07/sweets-for-saturday-25.html
