Ingredients
- 2 tsp lime rind
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ cup sugar
- 60 g butter, diced, at room temperature
- 125 g Granita biscuits
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- ½ cup thickened cream
- 1 tsp icing sugar, or to taste
- , for serving
Instructions
Combine the lime rind, juice, eggs and sugar in a saucepan over a medium-low heat. Whisk continuously until the curd thickens to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and immediately add the diced butter and continue to whisk until the butter has melted. Allow to cool.
Place the Granita biscuits in the bowl of a large food processor and pulse to form a rough crumb. Mix through the melted butter and sprinkle approx. 2 tablespoons of crumb into each serving glass. Top with 2 tablespoons of lime curd.
Combine the cream and icing sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk until cream forms soft peaks. Top the lime curd with cream and garnish with toasted coconut shards.
