Ingredients
  • 2 limes, zest removed in wide strips, plus finely grated zest for serving
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 ½ cups heavy cream, divided
  • ⅓ cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 can Dynasty Lychees, drained
Directions
  1. Bring wide strips of lime zest, salt, ½ cup sugar, and 2 cups heavy cream to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, swirling pan occasionally and being careful not to let mixture boil over, until cream is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring glass; divide among 4 small glasses, bowls, or ramekins. Chill until custards are no longer warm, about 30 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and continue to chill until set, at least 2 hours.
  2. Just before serving, whisk remaining ½ cup cream in a small bowl to soft peaks; whisk in remaining 1 Tbsp. sugar.
  3. Top each custard with dollops of cream, a few Dynasty Lychees, and some finely grated lime zest.
