Method

  1. 1

    Infuse. Put the milk, cream, sugar, corn syrup and rosemary in the large pan and bring just to the boil, watching that it does not rise over the top.

  2. 2

    Strain and cool. Take off the heat, leave for 10 min, then strain into the bowl. Cool, then refrigerate until very cold.

  3. 3

    Add the lime. Whisk the lime juice into the cold base a little at a time, then the zest. If it starts to look grainy, whisk hard or blend for a few seconds.

  4. 4

    Churn and freeze. Churn for 20-25 min, then freeze for 2-3 h. Serve small scoops with a tiny rosemary sprig.

Storage

Keep covered with baking paper on the surface in the freezer for up to 1 week. Soften for 5-10 min before scooping.

EU nutrition claims

  • Low salt: 0.23 g salt per 100 g (limit ≤ 0.3 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 57 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
