For the Popsicle Base

  • ½ cup fresh key lime juice About 4-6 key limes, juiced.

Method
 

Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
  2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each popsicle mold, pressing down firmly to create a crust layer.
  3. Place the molds in the freezer for about 30 minutes to set the crust.
Make the Key Lime Base

  2. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds.
Assemble the Popsicles
  1. Remove the molds from the freezer. Carefully pour the key lime mixture over the set graham cracker crust, filling each mold to the top.
  2. Insert the popsicle sticks into the center of each mold.
  3. Return the molds to the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
