This is a great recipe and so easy to make. I have made this 4 or five times now and everyone comments on how yummy it is. The only thing I would suggest is to beat the double cream to just before soft peaks before you add it to the condensed milk and lime rind/ lime juice otherwise your topping can be quite runny and take a long time to set.
