I love Tequila...I mean LOVE tequila. So I was very excited about the possibilities of this being my new favourite dessert. I was terribly let down though. First off this is expensive to make. I don't know what you pay for double cream in the UK but in Canada it's 7 dollars for about 1 cup. You're supposed to have nearly 4 cups for this so I made about a half recipe of this.
What you do is you mix lime juice, tequila (yay!), triple sec, and icing sugar with your double cream. Then you freeze it. Then you wait.
Now while you're waiting you might consider exercising for the entire 6 hours because double cream is one step away from being pure lard. Speaking of which I'll take this time to tell you the tale of when my uncle thought he'd play a trick on my grandpa. My grandpa used to like to eat vanilla ice cream and one day gramps says to my uncle "go get me a bowl of ice cream son" and my practical jokster uncle gets himself a bright idea and takes out to my grandpa a bowl of lard. But it looks like ice cream because he scooped it out with the ice cream scoop. What's crazy is my grandpa ate the whole damn bowl and never knew that it wasn't ice cream!!! True story.
What's more disturbing is that this is how this ice cream made me feel when I was eating it.
This recipe was just too much for me. It's so rich and fatty. I could feel my colon swelling shut as I was eating it. I couldn't eat my 2 scoops I'd portioned out. I ate one and then dumped the other. If you do feel the need to make this. I think the only way this would be tolerable to your intestines is if you served just one tiny scoop of this on a brownie or something. I'm not going to recommend this to you..but i wouldn't deter you from it either. If you're interested give it a shot but I recommend very small portions for this.
