A few years ago, my father gave me a Crate & Barrel gift card for my birthday. One of the first things I got with it was an ice cream maker, and I've been enjoying it ever since.
This recipe from Cooking Light is one of my favorites. It's surprisingly creamy for a comparatively low-fat recipe; the condensed milk makes a big difference. I love citrus flavors in general, and this ice cream is wonderful on a hot evening. It does freeze pretty hard; I recommend microwaving for 10-20 seconds before trying to scoop it.
Key Lime Ice Cream
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
2/3 cup bottled Key lime juice (you can use 3/4 cup regular lime juice if you can't find Key lime, but the Key lime is better!)
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Pour mixture into the freezer can of an ice-cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon ice cream into a freezer-safe container; cover and freeze 1 hour or until firm. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired.

Ooooh! May have to dig out the Ice Cream maker. It's been years since we've used it, but this could be a good reacquaintance!
