Its called "Tropical Lime Ice Cream" and couldn't be simpler...h-m-m, almost too simple... Any Chowhounds ever tried the one in the book? or do you have an alternative? I am throwing a backyard BBQ with an Indian flavour and thought I'd end with this.

It was really simple, too. I used 2 1/2c milk, 1 can sweetened condensed millk, a pinch of salt and 3-4T fresh squeeze lime juice. The lime juice "thickened" the mixture like a custard, and I poured it into my ice cream maker. It was surprisingly creamy and delicious.

(sort of half the size of a regular can of, say, peaches?)

Thanks to all who helped out: I will let you know where this goes. Thu Jul 31 12:09:52 -0700 2008 3918415 24738 LJS
