I had my first taste of key lime pie ice cream way back in high school and it was love at first bite. That is why when the ice cream shop stopped carrying it I was crushed. However several years later I discovered it again at a different ice cream shop and was beyond excited, until I learned that they do not always carry it. Their key lime pie ice cream is on a rotation with several other flavors.
Well now it does not matter because I can make key lime pie ice cream myself anytime I want. Creamy, key limey delicious ice cream.
