To bake or not to bake? Graham cracker crust or pie crust? These are just a few of the things you’ll need to consider when making key lime pie. Lucky for you, this isn’t key lime pie. We made a crunchy granola crust, filled it with irresistibly tangy frozen lime cream and froze the whole darn thing. The result is a tart and frosty treat with all the flavors of your favorite pie.

More About This Recipe

Spring is in the air, and with it comes an avalanche of citrus recipes. Why? Because they are so fresh and bright and taste like sunshine. At least, that’s my theory! I love this time of year. For the smell of new growth, the warmth of a hot sun, the sounds of the birds chirping, and the mandatory ice cream fest that happens the second I even think about starting to sweat. I went ahead and combined key lime pie with frozen ice cream goodness in this simple crunch cake and you are going to love it! I like to serve this with a big ol’ dollop of whipped cream and a little lime wedge.
