These creamy Key Lime Pie popsicles offer a perfect balance of creamy, tart, and sweet flavors, making a refreshing and nostalgic summer treat that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh key lime juice (or fresh Persian lime juice)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 3/4 cup (90 grams) graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until smooth.
  2. In a small bowl, combine fresh key lime juice and granulated sugar; stir until sugar dissolves and set aside.
  3. In a blender or food processor, blend softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk for 1-2 minutes until silky smooth.
  4. Add the lime juice-sugar mixture and vanilla extract to the blender; blend for 30 seconds to combine.
  5. Whip the cold heavy cream with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime-cream cheese mixture, then fold in the graham cracker crumbs, reserving some for topping.
  7. Spoon the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top; sprinkle reserved graham cracker crumbs on top.
  8. Insert popsicle sticks into molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
  9. To unmold, briefly run molds under warm water and gently pull the sticks before enjoying.

Notes

Soften cream cheese well to avoid lumps. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks only. Fold ingredients gently to keep airiness. Use fresh key lime juice for best flavor. Freeze overnight for best texture. To unmold, run molds briefly under warm water.
