I'd echo the coconut and ginger. I was also thinking a vanilla with orange zest might be nice if not too citrusy.

Assuming there's no graham in the cake, graham cracker ice cream. It's like a deconstructed key lime pie. :-)

Black Cherry. Result could be like a yummy cherry limeade???

Ginger, Cardamon, Caraway, Coconut infused with tropical herbs such as lemongrass &/or kaffir lime &/or coriander etc. Also, considering the "heft" of a curd based pie you may want to consider sherbert: it's just juice & dairy with sugar to taste...so you could do lemon or lime with cream or buttermilk-- then you would have a refreshing frozen concoction with your pie. If you wanted to make a ginger-lime sherbert you could make a ginger simple syrup and sweeten with a flavored sugar. I also like to infuse sugar with lime zest by "spinning" both in the food processor for a minute or two, (but I pass it through a fine meshed sieve). Have as much fun as you want!

It may be a lot of lime, but Merrill's lime ice cream is really good. I made it at least 3 times last summer.

Really good and refreshing.
