Ingredients
Frozen Keylime Pie on a stick
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (4 whole graham crackers crushed!)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Lime Curd Filling
- 2 large egg yolks
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1/3 cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
Chocolate Topping
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Steps
Frozen Keylime Pie on a stick
- In a small bowl combine the cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter; stir until evenly combined.
- Press the crumb mixture into the prepared pie pan, taking care to pack it in tightly and press it up the sides of the pan.
- Place the pie pan on a baking sheet and chill for 30 min.
Lime Curd Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric handheld mixer, beat the egg yolks and condensed milk until light and creamy; about 3 minutes.
- Next add in the lime zest and key lime juice; beat until completely combined. Microwave for 4 minutes, then pour into prep prepared shell. Freeze for 24 hours.
- When ready to serve, dip a very sharp knife into hot water, then slice the pie into 4 pieces. Use a small sharp knife to make a slit in the back of the pie crust, then slide a wooden popsicle stick in the end of each crust. Don't worry if a little bit of the crust crumbles here; it only natural! Place the pops back in the freezer for 1 hour.
Chocolate Topping
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time mixing each time until smooth. Dip Frozen pie into the chocolate to half way.
- Allow to cool on a baking sheets lined with baking paper. Serve frozen.
