Lime Delicious
This could easily be made gluten free by subbing in cornflour. It is one of our favourite winter desserts, and we just keep on making it!
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.
