Lime ice cream with fresh citrus fruit
This ice cream is made with fresh limes. This makes it taste particularly fruity and smell irresistibly delicious.
It is best to use organic limes. This way you can avoid pesticides, which accumulate mainly in the peel.
Grate the thin green zest off the limes first and then squeeze out the juice. You can slice another lime and serve the ice cream with it.
Also try my lime lemonade, the mango coconut dessert with banana and lime, the no bake vegan avocado pie with lime and the iced green tea with lime and mint.
Refine with yogurt
If you want to make the lime ice cream a little lighter, you can replace some of the cream with natural yogurt. For example, use 200 grams of cream and 150 grams of yogurt.
Mix the yogurt with the cooked lime mixture once it has cooled. Then whip the cream until creamy and fold it into the lime yogurt mixture.
