Tips:

  • Use fresh limes: Fresh limes provide the best flavor for this custard. If you can't find fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Zest the limes before juicing them: This will help to release the essential oils from the limes, which will give the custard a more intense flavor.
  • Use a double boiler to cook the custard: This will help to prevent the custard from curdling.
  • Stir the custard constantly while it is cooking: This will help to prevent it from scorching.
  • Strain the custard before serving: This will remove any lumps.
  • Serve the custard warm or cold: It is delicious either way.

Lime custard is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a topping for other desserts, such as pies and cakes. It is easy to make and can be made with a few simple ingredients. With its bright and tangy flavor, lime custard is a perfect way to add a touch of freshness to your next dessert.
