I made this exactly as directed, except I halved it so I could use my cute little Cuisinart ice cream freezer. This was really good. I loved that it was creamy but the lime taste was very evident. Like a dreamsicle only lime-ish. Oh, I did add one drop of green food color so I could tell this from the vanilla ice cream in the freezer. I used a microplane grater for the lime zest, so it was extra fine--almost powdery. I will be making this again! :-D
