Ingredients

  • 400ml cream

  • 75g golden caster sugar

  • 6 tbsp lime juice and the zest of 2 limes

  • dark chocolate flakes — optional

Method

  1. Pour the cream and sugar into a heavy-based saucepan and heat gently until it is shivering on the surface, which will happen just before it boils. At this point start to stir and allow it to boil for two and a half minutes.

  2. Remove the milk from the hob and stir in the zest and juice. Pour into four serving bowls or glasses. Allow to set in the fridge for at least three hours. Sprinkle the chocolate over it just before serving.
