FROZEN KEY LIME PIE POPS

Bottled Key lime juice is available at most grocery stores, but if you can’t find Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime Juice, you can squeeze whatever limes you can find. For a fun twist, try drizzling the pops with that“magic” chocolate coating you can find with the ice cream toppings at the grocery store. This recipe uses a standard 10-pop mold, but feel free to make two batches in a 6-pop mold, or go old school and use paper cups and wooden craft sticks.

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened

condensed milk

1 cup half-and-half

3/4 cup bottled Key lime juice (we

tested with Nellie & Joe’s) 1 teaspoon grated lime zest 1 drop green food coloring

1 drop yellow food coloring

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, half-and-half, Key lime juice, lime zest, and food coloring together in a large liquid measuring cup.

Pour the mixture into 10 (3-ounce) ice pop molds, and insert the sticks. Freeze for 5 to 6 hours, or until frozen.

Spread the graham cracker crumbs in a shallow dish. Dip the molds in very warm water for 10 seconds. Unmold the ice pops, coat in graham cracker crumbs, and serve.

Makes 10 pops
