4 Ingredient Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches
They’re a little bit of a reminder of day from my childhood summers. For as long as I can remember, the freezer of my childhood home was stocked full with our family’s favorite ice cream flavors.
Somewhere along the way someone made an ice cream sandwich out of the simplest of ingredients – creamy, vanilla ice cream pressed between two graham crackers.
And though I can’t remember which family member it was that first discovered this simple, way to eat ice cream, I do remember clearly its existence in my childhood, especially during our summers.
Blue Bunny asked me to create a recipe using their Dairy-Free Ice Cream. Naturally, with it being summer my mind went in the direction of the Ice Cream Sandwiches of my childhood…only I wanted to make them a little more exciting.
My adding key lime juice and lime zest to the tasty vanilla ice cream, I turned Blue Bunny’s Dairy-Free Vanilla Ice Cream into a Key Lime Ice Cream. Pressed between two graham cracker halves and you have yourself a delicious 4 Ingredient Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches.
Summer seems to have finally arrived here in Colorado. The constant rain has taken a little bit of a hiatus, the temps are up, bike rides and pool days have been had and these 4 Ingredient Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches were the perfect treat for the kids at the end of a long sunny day. We will definitely be making them all summer long!

I always loved what we called “refrigerator cookies” in the summer – in reality those delicious chocolate/oatmeal/coconut cookies. Perfect on a hot summer day coming straight from the fridge. The key lime ice cream sandwiches are now officially part of the plan for this summer’s treats – thanks for sharing!!

One of my favorite childhood treats was a treat from Shreveport. It’s a regional treat from Louisiana, and I get it every time we go. Strawn’s Strawberry Pie. I also love s’mores…to this day..they evoke such a tangible and visceral reminder of my childhood.
