Diet Types:

CKD non-dialysis
Dialysis

Ingredients

5 cups low fat vanilla bean ice cream
6 ounces frozen limeade concentrate
2 fresh limes
1 to 2 drops green food coloring (optional)
1 graham cracker crust

Preparation

Set the ice cream out to soften; thaw limeade concentrate. Zest the peel of one lime and measure 2 teaspoons to add to the pie mixture. Juice the zested lime and measure 1 tablespoon.
Combine the softened ice cream, limeade, lime juice and lime zest in a large bowl. Stir until well blended.
Pour mixture into the graham cracker crust. Cover and freeze until firm.
Cut pie into 10 servings. Garnish each slice with a fresh lime slice.

Helpful hints

For variety substitute cranberry, lemon or pineapple frozen concentrate for lime concentrate.
This dessert is not recommended for people with diabetes due to the high carbohydrate content. However you can make the following changes to reduce carbs to 26 grams per serving: make the filling and freeze in dessert cups and divide into 10 servings; omit the graham cracker crust; and use sugar-free ice cream.
