Ingredients (serves 6):
- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

Cooking Tips:
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
- For a creamier texture, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half or whole milk.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use paper cups and popsicle sticks instead.
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lime juice and lime zest.
3. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the popsicles are completely frozen.
