Frosty Lime Ice Cream Pie

Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1/3 cup sugar
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1 quart lime sherbet, softened
– 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
– 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
– Zest of 1 lime

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
2. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, forming an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened lime sherbet and vanilla ice cream. Gently fold them together until well mixed but still swirled.
4. Add the fresh lime juice to the ice cream mixture and gently stir until fully incorporated. The lime juice will add a bright and citrusy flavor to the ice cream.
5. Pour the ice cream mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the lime zest over the top for a burst of fresh aroma.
6. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer to set for at least 4 hours or until firm.
7. When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
8. Slice the Frosty Lime Ice Cream Pie into wedges and serve chilled. Garnish with additional lime zest or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
