Ingredients:

3 eggs

150g

2/3 cup sugar

130g

1 tbsp lime zest

16g

2 tbsp lemon zest

30g

1/3 cup self-raising flour

50g

1/2 cup lemon juice

100g

1/3 cup lime juice

72g

2 cups milk (1% fat)

480g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare Ingredients: Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, placing the yolks in a large mixing bowl and the whites in a medium mixing bowl.

3. Mix Yolks and Sugar: Add the sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks. Use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the yolks and sugar together until the mixture is pale and creamy.

4. Add Zests: Stir in the lime zest and lemon zest into the yolk and sugar mixture.

5. Incorporate Flour: Sift the self-raising flour into the yolk mixture and fold it in gently until well combined.

6. Combine Juices and Milk: Gradually add the lemon juice, lime juice, and milk to the mixture, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter.

7. Beat Egg Whites: In the medium mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer or whisk until they form stiff peaks.

8. Fold in Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula. Do this carefully to maintain the airiness of the mixture.

9. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.

10. Water Bath: Place the baking dish into a larger dish or roasting pan. Pour hot water into the larger dish to reach halfway up the sides of your smaller baking dish. This water bath will help the dessert cook evenly and create a delicate texture.

11. Bake: Carefully transfer the water bath and baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and set. The dessert should still be slightly jiggly in the center when done.

12. Cool and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool slightly before serving. This dessert can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

13. Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, you can garnish it with additional lime or lemon zest or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- Use fresh lemons and limes to ensure the best flavor and zest.

- Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully to avoid any yolk mixing into the whites for better whipping.

- Be sure to zest the fruit before juicing it, as it's more difficult to do it the other way around.

- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mixture to keep the batter light and airy.

- Bake the dish in a water bath to prevent the custard from cracking and to ensure even cooking.

- Let the dessert cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

This Lime and Lemon Delicious recipe is a perfect blend of tart and sweet, with a heavenly texture that will leave you craving more. Whether you serve it as a weeknight treat or a special occasion dessert, it's sure to impress. Enjoy the burst of citrus in every bite!
