Classic Rewind: Key Lime Pie Pops + Spiked Horchata Caramel

Summer is almost over, so let’s revisit my most popular seasonal recipe from last year… Key Lime Pie Pops with Spiked Horchata Caramel! Make sure to bookmark this post to save the recipe and scroll to the end of the post for an extra special giveaway!

I have a confession to make, and I don’t want to be judged or receive angry fan mail. Okay, here I go… I’m sick of ice cream! That’s right, by this time in the summer, I have officially had my fill of the frozen dessert. I know, it’s blasphemy. However with the scorching heat continuing to linger, I still crave a refreshing treat. So, I have come up with an alternative to ice cream. Frozen key lime pie with my recipe for Spiked Horchata Caramel for dipping. Oh, not so angry with me now, are we?!

Now I know I can’t convince all of you die-hard ice cream lovers to convert to the frozen Pie side. And to that I say, “more pie for me!” But for those of you who are the least bit intrigued, follow along with the recipe below to see you can recreate this summertime masterpiece…

Key Lime Pie Pops + Spiked Horchata Caramel

Time: 20 minutes, Serves: 8

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Frozen Key lime pie
• 2 ounces of Horchata Rum Liqueur
• 1 cup of granulated sugar 
• 1/4 cup of goat’s milk (or heavy cream if you’re not feeling adventurous!)
• 1/4 cup of water
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 4 tablespoons of butter

DIRECTIONS:

1. Over medium heat, add the sugar, salt, and water to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer while continuously stirring.
2. Once simmering, increase the heat to medium-high and continue to cook and stir until a golden-brown color forms (or until it reaches 350°F with a candy thermometer).
3. Take the saucepan off of the heat and stir in the goat’s milk, butter, and Horchata liqueur. Transfer to a jar or glass serving bowl and let cool. Serve at room temperature.
4. Remove the frozen Key Lime Pie from the tin. Slice into 8 pieces and skewer the crust ends with a candy apple stick. Serve immediately alongside the Spiked Horchata Caramel for dipping. Enjoy!
