Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup key lime juice
- 2 sheets graham crackers
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon key lime zest
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, key lime juice, and sugar (if desired for extra sweetness).
Break the graham crackers into smaller pieces and add them to the blender for a slightly crumbly texture reminiscent of the crust of a key lime pie.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy.
Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness or lime flavor by adding a little more sugar or lime juice if needed.
Pour the shake into two serving glasses.
Top each glass with whipped cream and sprinkle with key lime zest for a bright citrusy aroma.
Garnish with a small piece of graham cracker or a slice of lime if desired, and serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
