When you have limes aplenty, (thanks to all the friends who keep dropping them by) it is always a good excuse to break out a favourite dessert. We are just loving this one this winter. Although I would normally associate limes with summer, they are plentiful in the winter here in Perth. So perfect comfort food dessert it is!
Really a steamed custard of sorts it is fresh, lovely hot or cold and really really delicious. As the name promises. Keep those limes coming everyone.

Do
- 1
Butter a 5 cup capacity ovenproof dish and set aside. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- 2
Place egg whites into the Thermomix bowl and whip 4 min/Butterfly/37°C/speed 3. Remove from bowl and set aside.
- 3
Place the butter into the Thermomix bowl and melt 2 min/45°C/speed 1. Insert the Butterfly again.
- 4
Zest the limes directly into the Thermomix bowl and add the yolks and sugar. Mix 3 min/Butterfly/speed 3. Remove Butterfly.
- 5
Add juice, lime oil, flour and milk and blend 10 sec/speed 4. Return the whipped egg whites to the bowl and combine 17 sec/Interval/dough setting until just combined. It will look lumpy and a little separated. This is ok.

Dust generously with icing sugar and it is best served warm, though no-one complained about it when cold either. Completely delicious.
