Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh key lime juice
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups ice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- Whipped cream for topping
- Lime slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender, combine the fresh key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and lime zest. Blend until well mixed and smooth.
- Step 2: Add the ice to the blender and blend again until the mixture is slushy and the ice is finely crushed.
- Step 3: Taste the slushie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sweetened condensed milk or a little sugar.
- Step 4: Pour the slushie mixture into glasses, leaving some space at the top to add whipped cream.
- Step 5: Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a slice of lime if desired. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover Key Lime Pie Slushie in an airtight container in the freezer, but be aware that it may lose some of its slushy texture upon thawing.
- Since this slushie is best enjoyed cold, reheating isn't recommended; instead, simply let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes if it becomes too frozen to enjoy right away.
- For a fun serving suggestion, add a splash of club soda or ginger ginger ale to the slushie for a fizzy twist that complements the tangy lime flavor beautifully.
- A helpful chef's tip: using freshly squeezed key lime juice will provide the brightest flavor, so take the time to juice your limes right before blending for the best results!
