One of my husband's favorite desserts. You have to start at least one day before you plan to serve it. I start mine 2 days before.
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup lime juice
1 tbsp grated lime peel
3 drops food coloring
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 cup cream/top milk
1 pint or 2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
Beat eggs until they are thick. Gradually add sugar until light. Add food coloring, cream/milk, lime juice & lime peel. Pour into a freezer safe tray or pan and freeze.
Remove frozen lime mixture. Breaks into chunks and beat with a beater until firm, then put back in the freezer to partially freeze.
Mix butter and graham cracker crumbs. Line a tin or glass pie dish with the mixture.
Beat the ice cream until smooth. Then spread into the pan with crust and top with the lime mix.
Put the pie back in the freezer until you are ready to serve.

ok we've been friends for five years and i have yet to enjoy this pie... bring it on!
You're on!
Watch out for your beaters. I just broke the beater off my hand mixer. The ice cream was to cold to blend.
Dude, you HAVE to give credit to Verla for this! This is VERLA's LIME PIE!
