Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons finely grated fresh lime zest
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 large egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
a candy or instant-read thermometer; an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Blend zest and 1/2 cup sugar in a food processor 30 seconds, then stir together with cream and milk in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, and remove from heat. Steep, covered, 30 minutes.
  • Bring remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons lime juice to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil, swirling pan occasionally, until syrup just begins to turn very pale golden. Remove from heat and whisk in steeped cream.
  • Whisk yolks with salt in a large bowl and add cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Return to saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until custard coats back of spoon and thermometer registers 170°F (do not let boil).
  • Pour through a very fine sieve into a clean bowl and cool, stirring occasionally. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup lime juice and chill custard, covered, until cold, at least 3 hours.
  • Freeze custard in ice cream maker. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.

The lime flavor was a bit too strong for me. I think I would have preferred it with a bit less lime zest.

The ice cream was a bit icy, but the flavor was still good. I think I might have over-churned it.

This ice cream is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a bit more sugar.
