Beat the heat this summer with a taste of the Keys and never leave your house with this Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Parfaits recipe sponsored by Mirum Shopper.

There are few things I look forward to quite so intensely as our annual family vacation to the beach. It’s not just the leisurely schedule or relaxing, picture perfect backdrop but the entire experience. Including the food.

I’m usually not big on sweets when we’re at home, but visiting the beach always reveals a major weakness of mine.

Key lime pie.

As I’m sure you know from having favorite meals of your own, all key lime pies are not created equally. I’ve spent years tasting key lime pies up and down the beach trying to find my ideal dessert.

Two years ago, I finally found it!

But I don’t want to wait another year to get a slice of key lime perfection. I want it now. Ready to make whenever the craving strikes. So I’ve spent some time in the kitchen testing recipes until I finally found a winner. The perfect balance of graham cracker crust, to a firm but not hard key lime pie that was tart but not sour, and came together as a perfect dessert.

Let me tell you with the arrival of triple digit days here in Austin, the taste of key lime pie is refreshing. With July being National Ice Cream Month, it only made sense to make an already amazing key lime pie taste even better on oppressively hot days by adding a little ice cream to the mix.

By using ice cream as opposed to making a pie, I actually used fewer ingredients in the recipe. Only four to be exact. Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream (which is made with high-quality ingredients, like fresh cream, milk, and sugar, and that is non-GMO) limes, key lime juice, and graham crackers! I picked all of the ingredients I needed for my key lime pie ice cream parfaits recipe using Walmart Grocery Pick Up. Being able to shop for the ingredients I need online and then having my groceries delivered to my car without having to pile everyone in and out in this heat, makes shopping so much faster and easier! Not all stores have it, but if it’s available at your store it’s a total game changer!
