Fated To Happen Cottage Lime Smoothie

How to Make

• Step 1: Zest 1 of the fresh limes & set it aside inside a damp paper towel.

• Step 2: Juice the fresh limes as follows: Microwave the limes on High for 20-30 seconds or until slightly warm. As the microwave heats the limes from the inside out, the juice capsules burst w/in the limes. When they are cool enough to handle (about 30 seconds), roll them on the counter-top, applying only gentle pressure. This will also break open the juice capsules, making it easier to extract their juice after being cut open. Then halve the limes & juice as normal. The juice capsules will have already burst, so less effort is needed to extract the juice. Use this method until you have accumulated 1/3 cup of lime juice.

• Step 3: Add the lime juice, cream cheese & powdered sugar to the blender or mixing container you're using. Whiz the contents until smooth. Then add the evaporated milk & continue whizzing. The evaporated milk will begin to foam & add volume to your smoothie. The texture should be thick, creamy & best eaten w/a spoon.

• Step 4: With a spatula, scrape the contents of the container into 2 sml glasses. Top each smoothie w/zest & a sprinkle of nutmeg (if using). Grab spoons, stir them in & ENJOY!

• Step 5: NOTE RE YIELD: This recipe makes 2 small, but rich smoothies. If a larger volume is desired, feel free to add fresh ripe bananas as desired.
