Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut cream and almond milk for heavy cream and whole milk. Replace lime juice with lemon for a different citrus note. You can make ahead and store tightly covered in the freezer for up to one week; let soften for 5 minutes before scooping. If ice cream turns icy, ensure mixture is well-chilled before churning and use airtight containers to limit air exposure.
