  Really gorgeous and easy dessert, the lime makes it. but they are quite rich and the portion sizes are generous, you don't need a lot of this to feel like you've had a treat!

  This was fairly easy to make, but there's no need to caremelise the shortbread, and the lime was too strong, maybe use just 2 limes next time. I'll certainly try it again though

  A MIND BLOWING dessert! Absolutely delicious and a HUGE hit with friends (they wanted the recipe!). As a general note, you can use normal caster sugar rather than golden caster sugar - it makes no difference at all. Also it's very important that the sugar is heated on a very low temperature - I had to give this two attempts as the first time the temp was too high and the sugar, once "melted", solidified into clumps of toffee! I would NOT advise using a black wok - instead, use a large stainless-steal pan. It will take far longer to heat up, but the heat is more evenly distrubuted! Enjoy!

  I'm not a big fan of sweet things or desserts - I prefer cheese and biscuits myself but I like this one. It won compliments from my dinner guests when I served it yesterday. But, the recipe says 3 limes - must be a typing error? way too much! unless you enjoy wincing from eye watering sharpness. you really only need 1 to 2 I might try it again with apple or rhubarb next time.

  Lovely recipe. Very easy and very tasty. As per other comments 2 limes definitely enough and don't really need to caramelise the shortbread crumbs.
