Every week we pull together some great Canadian recipes from Canadian food bloggers around the web featuring one main ingredient or dish. This week we're doing a twofer - today it's sweet lime dessert and drink recipes. Check out yesterday's savoury lime recipes!
Like all citrus fruits, limes are great in sweet treats - their zesty, acidic flavour can add a great balance to sweet notes, making desserts taste lighter and more refreshing. We've got 36 sweet lime recipes to share today. There's lots of different takes on key lime pie and key lime cheesecake but there's also some more unusual ideas like pairing lime and gingerbread, lime brioche buns, eclairs, pavlovas and much more. Enjoy!
Before we get underway you need these great tips from Chef Heidi Fink on How to Cut and Juice a Lime. It will make cooking all these dishes so much easier!
