EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you have an industrial-sized blender, no cooking and peeling needed! Just toss all of the ingredients into your blender, blend it until the sugar is dissolved, then pour it into a parchment-lined dish and freeze! So easy!

To crank up the lime flavor in this recipe, add the grated peel of the two limes, as well as the juice.
