Directions
- 1
Take the condensed milk out of the fridge 10 minutes before starting so it reaches room temperature and blends more smoothly.
- 2
Wash the limes thoroughly. Using a fine grater or zester, grate the zest of one lime, being careful to avoid the bitter white pith. Set aside.
- 3
Squeeze both limes and strain the juice through a sieve to remove any seeds.
- 4
In a bowl, combine the condensed milk, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously with a fork or hand whisk until the mixture thickens slightly and turns smooth and creamy.
- 5
Spread the glaze evenly over your fully cooled cake, sprinkle the lime zest on top, and finish with lime slices for a fresh, elegant presentation.
💡 Chef's Tip
Always glaze a completely cooled cake — a warm surface will cause the glaze to slide off. For a firmer set, refrigerate for 30 minutes after glazing before serving.
