Today’s cool treat can be described in one word – REFRESHING!
This is one of those things that you can make ahead and have on hand in the freezer for when you have company or the mood strikes. It comes with a disclaimer though – you have to love mint because it’s super minty!
Lime-Mint Ice Cream Bars
by Becca {Crumbs and Chaos}
Ingredients
- 18 whole GRAHAM CRACKERS
- 1/4 cup SUGAR
- 1/3 cup BUTTER, melted
- 2 cups HEAVY CREAM
- 1 (14 oz.) can SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
- 1/2 cup SOUR CREAM
- 1 1/2 teaspoon VANILLA EXTRACT
- 1/2 cup FRESH MINT LEAVES, roughly chopped
- 1 Tablespoon grated LIME ZEST
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9×13 pan with foil, leaving a little extra on the ends to help pull it from the pan later.
Pulse the graham crackers in the food processor until they are fine crumbs, add the sugar and butter. Pulse a few more times to combine. Press mixture into prepared pan, bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely (about 30 min.).
In a large bowl, beat together cream, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form, this will take between 3 and 5 minutes. Fold in mint and lime zest.
Spread evenly over crust. Cover with foil and freeze about 8 hours until firm. This will keep up to 2 weeks. Remove from pan and cut into bars when ready to serve.
