The first question I asked myself after sampling a spoonful of this refreshing treat was "Why on Earth have I never tried this combination with lime before?" What's more, this recipe is so incredibly simple that it takes no more than a handful of ingredients to make the ice cream. It can be ready in 5 minutes flat, refreshes the palate and will have your taste buds dancing for joy. If you're already thinking "not banana again" or "I don't like banana", please just give it a go as the fresh lime juice in this banana ice cream pretty much wipes out the banana flavour anyway. And if you can still taste the banana, it's so subtle that it conjures up an entirely new flavour. When it comes to the berry topping, you can simply choose your favourites. I have chosen some that are slightly sweet and others that are a little more tart. Because this ice cream is both sweet and tart, you can adopt the same approach with the berries. What are you waiting for?
