Cooking Time: Half an hour prep (5 hours freeze time)
Difficulty: Easy
Serves: 4-6
• 190g icing sugar
• 4 limes
• 2 fresh habaneros (or chillies or your choice)
• 450ml cream (or crème fraîche)
• Measure icing sugar into a bowl. Zest 2 of the limes into the icing sugar bowl.
• Add the juice of all 4 limes to the bowl.
• Finely chop the habaneros and add to your mixture. Stir to combine.
• Time to whip your cream! Pour into a mixing bowl and whisk until thick and peaky. If it’s not thick enough or ‘peaky’ enough, your ice cream won’t set properly.
• Once you’ve whipped your cream, add the sugary, citrusy habanero mixture — use a spatula to make sure you get it all! Fold mixture together to combine and get some air through it. Don’t over-stir, though. As soon as it’s combined, you’re done!
• Transfer mixture to a container with a well-fitting lid and bung it in the freezer for 2½ hours. After the 2½ hours, take the mixture out of the freezer and give it a good old stir around with a spoon. Just to aerate the mixture — so it doesn’t become too dense.
• Bung it back in the freezer for another 2½ hours. Then it’s ready to serve!
