Step-by-step

    • Pour the lime juice, tequila and orange liqueur into a bowl and stir in the sugar to dissolve.
    • Add the cream and then softly whip until thick and smooth but not stiff.
    • Spoon into an airtight container to freeze overnight. This ice cream does not need ripening (softening before serving), as it will not freeze too hard and melts speedily and voluptuously
