Method

  1. 1

    Lime cream. Warm the cream, sugar, syrup, salt and zest in the saucepan until the sugar has dissolved, then leave to cool to room temperature so the zest can perfume it.

  2. 2

    Add the tang. Whisk in the cold buttermilk, then the lime juice. The acid thickens the cream slightly, like a pie filling. Chill for at least 4 h.

  3. 3

    Churn. Churn for 20-30 min, until thick.

  4. 4

    Fold and freeze. Fold in the biscuit pieces quickly so they stay crunchy, pack into the container and freeze, covered, for at least 4 h.

Storage

Keep covered with baking paper pressed on the surface in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Soften for 10 min in the fridge before scooping.
