    When I tasted this before I put it in the freezer it didn't have enough lime flavor for me. I added 2 extra tablespoons of lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. One of the best flavors of ice cream I have every made and I make a LOT of ice cream.

    Just made it and stuck it in the fridge to chill. If the flavor of the custard is any indication, this will be amazing once frozen!!

    Thank you for this recipe! This was one of the best ice cream's I've ever had, let alone made! I did add two tablespoons of limoncello along with the lime juice at the end to brighten the flavor a little bit. I've tried making ice cream a number of times and have always been kind of disappointing with the outcome - either the texture, or the flavor, or the both. This came out perfectly on all counts!
