This ginger and lime ice cream is a rather adult ice cream. The lime is tangy and the crystallised ginger is slightly fiery chunks which keeps the sweetness of the ice cream in check.
This ice cream can be made in an ice cream maker, or using the method detailed below. When time is short I have made this ice cream by just adding the nuts and cranberries into the cream when the maple syrup is added and then putting it in the freezer and leaving it until completely hard before serving it. This gives a slightly different texture, you end up with a harder ice cream, but an equally delicious one.

- Juice the limes and lemon and pour the juice into the cream.
- Pour into a container. Now place it in the freezer for four hours, taking it out after each hour to stir it all up with a spoon this will prevent crystals forming.
