Caviar lime ice cream is a burst of refreshing lime and creamy goodness. Top a scoop with our caviar limes for the ultimate citrus ice cream.

Ingredients:

2 cups heavy whipping cream
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
⅓ cup lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons lime zest
Pearls of 2 caviar limes

Equipment:

Cutting board
Knife
Mixer
Spatula
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Metal 9 x 5 bread pan

Recipe Steps:

Prepare the whipped cream:

In a standing mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 2-3 minutes on high speed). The whipped cream should be able to stand on its own when you lift the whisk out of the mixer.

Prepare the lime juice and milk:

Mix the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice and salt together.

Fold together and prepare to freeze:

Using a spatula, gradually fold the milk and lime juice into the whipped cream to add air as you mix the two together.
Spread the mixture into a metal 9x5 bread pan, cover and freeze for 2 hours. Using a metal container will help the ice cream freeze faster but glass works as well. If you don’t have a bread pan, a casserole dish works as well.
After 2 hours, the ice cream will have a soft-serve texture, so this is a good time to add in the caviar lime flesh and zest. Gently mix it into the ice cream with a spatula and continue freezing for an additional 4 hours.

Freeze and serve:

Take the ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
Run an ice cream scoop in warm water before scooping.

Serving Suggestions:

Top your scoops of ice cream with extra caviar lime flesh and zest. The burst of citrus from the caviar limes is perfect for any citrus fan!

For a key lime twist, add in white chocolate chips and graham crackers around the 2-hour mark. And for those who love a good mint and citrus combo, make sure to top your ice cream with fresh mint leaves.
