- 3 limes (grated zest and juice)
- big bunch of mint (finely chopped)
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 250 ml cream
- 250 ml tub crème fraiche

- 2 l goats milk
- 200 g granulated sugar
- piece of cinnamon
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
Method
- For the Lime Ice Cream: Mix all the ingredients and freeze in a plastic container or ice cream machine.
- For the Cajeta: Heat the goat’s milk, sugar and cinnamon stick until simmering and cook for ten minutes.
- Mix the bicarbonate of soda with a tablespoon of lukewarm water. Take the saucepan off the heat and carefully add the bicarbonate water to the goats milk mixture (it can bubble up, so be careful).
- Whisk away and then put back on the heat and gently simmer for 2-3 hours until it is thick and golden brown.
