SERVINGS: 8 6-ounce glasses
RECIPE CATEGORY: Desserts

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 leaves makrut lime
  • fresh lime juice (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • sweetened whipped cream, quartered lychees, chopped mint, and sea salt, for garnish

Instructions
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream with the sugar and makrut lime leaves and bring to a simmer. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cream is slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.
  2. Whisk the lime juice into the hot cream. Strain the cream through a fine sieve set over a measuring cup. Stir in the lime zest and salt.
  3. Pour the cream into eight 6-ounce glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until chilled and set.
  4. Top the custards with whipped cream, garnish with lychees, mint, and sea salt, and serve right away.

Notes

Make ahead: The custards can be refrigerated overnight. Garnish just before serving.
