Taste of summer

Lime

by special request - the fruit dip i made for today's undercoverwear party i hosted :)

i'm sure you could do this in a food processor, but i of course did it in my thermomix ;)

some sugar (or icing sugar if you're not using a tmx) - maybe about 1/4-1/3 cup? whizz it up so it becomes icing sugar - about 10-20 seconds on speed 6 ???? (i really wasn't paying attention by this stage as all my guests were already there - so follow the basics in the book!!)

wash and cut the ends of 1 - 1/2 limes. put in the bowl and chop until as small as they'll get (we had the 'chunky bits problem' too, though everyone said it was fine, i'm wondering if it would be better to do this before the sugar?)

add in one tub of marscapone, mix for a few seconds and serve :)

i served with
firm brown pears
strawberries
bananas
pineapple
and melon

for those who are wondering this did NOT fit into the core plan lol i just had a few small dips to sample... luckily my guests ate all the rest so i had no leftovers to tempt me!
