There are simple things in life that have the power of lighting up our day – like arriving home and finding a package or your favorite magazine waiting for you in the mailbox. I love that.

Super lime ice cream
adapted from The Perfect Scoop
2 large limes
½ cup + 2 tablespoons (125g) caster sugar
½ cup (120ml) freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 3 large limes)
1 cup (240ml) whole milk
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
pinch of salt
Zest the limes directly into a food processor or blender. Add the sugar and lime juice and blend until the sugar is dissolved. Blend in the milk and heavy cream.
Chill for 1 hour, then freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Makes about 1 quart (1 liter)
ohh look at those amazing ripples!! I m drooling . looks so creamy and yummy.
ReplyDeleteO that looks fantastic Patricia. How did you make the zest from the lime looking so perfect? Do you use a special tool for that or just an average grater? It looks different!
ReplyDeleteI bet it's super refreshing.
ReplyDeleteI've heard so much about the book that I am planning on persuading my parents into buying me an ice cream maker :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Yum.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I really want an ice cream maker now...and that book, too!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I get so excited when I see a new Donna Hay in my mailbox (yes, I pay a ridiculous price to get in the US, but it's one of my treats to myself). I haven't made a lime ice cream yet, this one sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious Patricia and they are beautiful pictures too!
ReplyDeleteOh that looks perfect for the hot summer weather we have here now! Fantastic photos!
ReplyDeleteI'm bookmarking and saving this recipe for summer, when lemon ice cream always tastes so great with fruit salad. Lime will be even better!
ReplyDeleteI love the super lemon. Super lime sounds heavenly!
ReplyDeleteI loooove this book, I know you will too!
ReplyDeletewow - thats some good looking icecream. looking forward to more icecream from your blog!
ReplyDeleteLime and cream are such a perfect duo! You get a nice tartness from the citrus and a perfect sweetness to mellow out the tang from the cream. So glad your Ice Cream Bible arrived! Can't wait to try this one.
ReplyDeleteYum looks fantastic! I love citrus ice creams and will have to make this one for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great book, can't blame you for getting on with such a super recipe!
ReplyDeletemmm ice cream!! Lime too!! I'm in love with all things lime at the moment!
ReplyDeleteOooh, so refreshing and fantastic! I really love citrus ice creams and lime is one of my favorite flavors. I love the shot of your curly lime zest!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big lime fan and this looks so refreshingly lovely Patricia! :)
