Absolutely brilliant. So tasty for all of 5 minutes work. Definitely a keeper in my repertoire.

Very easy to make and very tasty. I actually put in all of 300ml tub of cream, an extra spoon of sugar and bit more lime juice and it made 4 small pots

Didn’t deviate from the recipe and guests loved it! Simple but elegant served in tea cups x

So simple to make and so delicious. I did find it a little on the sweet side though. I will use a little less sugar next time, as there will definitely be a next time.

So simple and so tasty - quite sharp and strongly citrus tasting. I used two large limes and easily got the ~50 ml of juice that is required. Even the leftovers from the saucepan taste awesome before they are chilled. I can't believe I've never found this recipe before!
