List of Ingredients



• 1 1/3 cups sugar
  
• juice and zest of 6 limes, divided
  
• 6 egg yolks
  
• 1 cup heavy cream
  
• 1/8 tsp salt
  
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  
• 1 1/2 tsps vanilla
  






Instructions



1. Place the sugar and lime zest in a bowl; set aside.
   
   
2. In a saucepan, stir together the egg yolks, cream and salt; simmer. Add the sugar and lime zest and lime juice to the hot mixture. Stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
