Tips & Variations

  • If you can’t find key limes, fresh regular lime juice works well too.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?

Plain Greek yogurt is best to balance the tartness of the key lime, but if you prefer, a mild vanilla-flavored yogurt can add a subtle sweetness.

Do I have to preheat the oven for this recipe?

Actually, preheating the oven is not necessary since this recipe involves freezing rather than baking. You can skip the oven step entirely for a quicker preparation.

  • 1/4 cup honey

Toppings

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
